Geography comments: "The Sandelzhausen locality (Fig. 1) is situated in the eastern part of the town of Mainburg, 70 km northeast of Munich and 27 km west of Landshut, in Lower Bavaria"
"Palaeomagnetic analysis of the Sandelzhausen profile reveal one inverse to normal magnetic reversal, which cannot unambiguously be correlated to the Global
Polarity Timescale (Abdul-Aziz et al. 2008). The palaeomagnetic results of other sections in the Landshut–Mainburg area, together with biostratigraphic information, makes a correlation to the magnetic reversals C5Cn.2r/2n
or C5Cn.1r/1n most reliable (Abdul-Aziz et al. 2008), placing Sandelzhausen at around 16.47 or 16.27 Ma, in
the latest Early Miocene, near the Early/Middle"

Environment
Lithology: siliciclastic (mixed)
Taphonomic context: fluvial deposit
Habitat comments: "a fine-clastic intercalation near the top of the regionally widespread sands and gravels of the No¨rdlicher Vollschotter"
"Fine to medium-sized gravels within a sandy to marly matrix. Pedogenic carbonate nodules and carbonatic cementations are very frequent"
