... ). All Geiseltal opencast mines were closed and the mining area has been recultivated. The entire depositional sequence is called the Geiseltal Formation and it is the stratotype of the European Land Mammal Megazone Geiseltalian ( Speijer et al. 2020 ). The fossil flora was part of a subtropical peat bog...

The sediments of the Dormaal locality are fluviatile in origin and are composed of sub-rounded pebble beds, crossstratified sands, clayey sands and thin gray clay layers. The deposits that comprise the Dormaal Member (Tienen Formation) are localized...
