| Armissam quarry, near Narbonne | Hecht M. K. (1992) | The age of the deposit has been variously assigned to the lower Miocene (Aquitanian) by de Lapparent (1906, 1938) and Lavocat (1955) and by Schmidt-Kittler (1971) to the later Oligocene (Stampian). The deposit described by Noulet (1877) and Viguier (1888) was an old quarry and was well known and collected assiduously towards the end of the last century (de Saporta 1865 ; de Lapparent 1906, p. 1590 ; Lavocat 1955). Early authors (such as Noulet 1877) noted the remains of abundant plant fragments, | "limestone" | 28.4 - 15.97 Ma Cenozoic | |
