Geography
Country: France
Coordinate: 43° 19' N, 2° 38' E
Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark
Formation: Grès et Argiles d'Assignan
Time interval: Early Eocene
Zone: MP8/9
Geography comments: "30 km northeast of Carcassone... in the northwestern plot of the 'Château Sainte-Eulalie' vineyard, the town of 'La Livinière'" (basis of coordinate)
"middle Ypresian... MP8-9"
"middle Ypresian... MP8-9"
Environment
Lithology: sandstone
Taphonomic context: fluvial deposit
Habitat comments: the fossils were "associated with oncolines and stromatolites in a thin sandstone level about 80 cm thick" and some sandstones in this section are cross-bedded or have ripple marks, which "suggests shallow water environments, fluvial or tidal, always under stream influence"
Methods
Life forms: carnivores,primates,ungulates
Sample size: 75 specimens
Museum: University of Montpellier 2
Sampling comments: there are 75 mammal specimens in total and there must be three specimens of lophiaspsis because 72 are accounted for by the other three species
the material was collected "over a period of 2 years" that isn't specified
indeterminate and uncounted "Chelonii" (turtles) are present
the repository isn't directly indicated, but the authors are mostly from the University of Montpellier 2 and the site coordinates are kept there
