Abstract
In February 1987 the paleontologists working on European mammalian faunas of the Paleogene convened in Mainz to establish a mammal chronology for this time period. The results were edited by the author of this report at the end of the same year (Schmidt-Kittler, 1987). The biochronological subdivision agreed upon in this symposium corresponds to the general conditions met in the European continental Tertiary. Therefore, it is consistent with the concept of subdivision used for the Neogene mammal chronology of Europe elaborated in an earlier meeting in Munich (Fahlbusch, 1976).
