“…This result agrees well with biostratigraphical data from palaeogeographically adjacent areas (Mödden et al 2000;Picot et al 2008;Berger 2011). The palaeogeographic and palaeoenvironmental evolution during the Cyrenenmergel shows regional disparities, as evidenced by a charophyte and Bolboforma signal at the locality Allschwil-2, that have not been recorded further to the north at DP-202.…”

“…However, according to Vandenberghe et al (2012) zone MP 24 lies entirely within the Late Rupelian. This indicates that the ''Süsswasserschichten'' studied by Mödden et al (2000) still represent the Late Rupelian, and that the Rupelian/ Chattian boundary can be assumed to lie somewhere within the ''Süsswasserschichten'', which agrees well with our results that parts of the Niederroedern Fm are Late Rupelian in age. In contrast, Roussé (2006) correlated the Rupelian/Chattian boundary to the unconformity between the Cyrenenmergel and the Niederroedern Formation.…”

“…The position of the Rupelian/Chattian boundary in the ''Süßwasserschichten'' (equivalent of the Niederroedern Fm) of the Mainz Basin has been investigated in detail by Mödden et al (2000). In this study, the ''Süßwasser-schichten'' have been attributed to the Late Rupelian/Early Chattian transition zone based on mammals and otoliths, indicative for MP 24 and OT-O2, respectively.…”

This study analyses the regressive phase of the marine Froidefontaine Subgroup and the subsequent fluviolacustrine Niederroedern formation in the southern Upper Rhine Graben during the Late Rupelian and the position of the Rupelian/Chattian boundary. The study is based on the sedimentary record and several microfossil groups from two boreholes, with a focus on new records of fish otoliths, Bolboforma and Charophyta. The biostratigraphic evaluation of these groups provides evidence for a position of the Rupelian/Chattian boundary within the upper Niederroedern Formation. This is contrary to the results from a previous sedimentological approach, which places the boundary at the base of the Niederroedern Formation. The fish fauna indicates a biogeographic relation to southern France, the Molasse Basin of Switzerland and southern Germany.

A comparable observation is stated by Mödden et al (2000) for the time-equivalent freshwater beds ("Süßwassers-chichten") of the Mainz Basin. Dapalis angustus from the same sample represents the type species for the "Mid"-Rupelian OT-01 otolith zone (see also first description in Reichenbacher & Weidmann 1992).…”

Earliest record of rhinocerotoids (Mammalia: Perissodactyla) from Switzerland: systematics and biostratigraphy

Earliest rhinocerotoids from Switzerland are reviewed on the basis of dental remains from the earliest Oligocene north-central Jura Molasse localities of Bressaucourt (MP21/22) and Kleinblauen (top MP22). The record in Bressaucourt is restricted to Ronzotherium and Cadurcotherium, representing Switzerland's oldest, well-dated post-"Grande Coupure" large mammal association, the only occurrence of Cadurcotherium, and the earliest occurrence of rhinocerotoids in Switzerland. The correlation with high-resolution stratigraphy of this locality permitted a dating of the fauna to ca. 32.6 Ma, less than a million years after the "Grande Coupure" event. The rhinocerotoids of Kleinblauen are represented by Epiaceratherium, Ronzotherium and Eggysodon. With the presence of Plagiolophus ministri, they are the only well-dated Swiss post-"Grande Coupure" large mammal assemblage with the persistence of an endemic pre-"Grande Coupure" taxon. Moreover, the coexistence of Epiaceratherium magnum and E. aff. magnum could indicate a new speciation within the Epiaceratherium lineage around the top of MP22. The rhinocerotoid associations of Bressaucourt with Ronzotherium -Cadurcotherium on the western side of the southernmost Rhine Graben area, and Kleinblauen with Epiaceratherium -Ronzotherium -Eggysodon on the eastern side, respectively, reveal a possible environmental barrier constituted by the Early Oligocene Rhenish sea and its eventual connection with the Perialpine sea. This one could have separated an arid area in central-eastern France from a humid area in Switzerland and Germany. These results, combined with the repartition of similar rhinocerotoid associations in Western Europe, also give new insights into an alternative earliest Oligocene dispersal route of rhinocerotoids from Asia towards Western Europe via North Italy.
