  • : 3.6-2.58
  • :
  • : Lefkosia Marl Member (Lefkosia Formation)
  • : Open marine shelf of the Mesaoria Basin with marl-dominated sedimentation, periodic water-column stratification and freshwater input episodes. The record is now subsurface, covered by Quaternary alluvium.
  • : Bivalves, gastropods, scaphopods, barnacles, echinoids, corals, conifer remains, calcareous nannofossils and planktonic foraminifera
  • : Warm Pliocene sea with surface temperatures around 26°C, open marine shelf with stratified water column, periodic freshwater input producing sapropelic-marly alternations, episodic seafloor ecological stress, progressive shift to shallower waters toward the end of the Pliocene
