TABLE 1. Summary of the considered sites. Collections: aSenckenberg Natural History Collections Dresden, bNational Museum Prague, cState Museum of Natural History Stuttgart, dNaturhistorisches Museum Wien. *Absolute ages are - if not radiometrically determined - estimated from information available for the stratigraphic position of the sites. Abbreviations for dating: RM: radiometric. BS: biostratigraphy. LS: lithostratigraphy. The literature sources for dating and further information on the sites are indicated with superscript letters: 1Krutzsch (2011), 2Bellon et al. (1998), 3Knobloch et al. (1996), 4Rojík (2004), 5Moraweck et al. (2019), 6Standke et al. (2010), 7Krutzsch et al. (1992), 8Grimm et al.

Abbreviations for depositional setting: F: fluviatile. M: marine. V: volcanic. Abbreviations for Taxa: EF: Eotrigonobalanus furcinervis. DC: Daphnogene cinnamomifolia. PN: Platanus neptuni. Numbers in brackets indicate the number of available leaves. MAT and StD: Mean annual temperature and standard deviation, determined by CLAMP. GSP and StD: Growing season precipitation and standard deviation, determined by CLAMP. CLAMP results from Moraweck et al. (2019), with the exception of sites marked with an asterisk, which were taken from Teodoridis and Kvaček (2015). N.a.: data not available.
