Although its diversity is low, the assemblage is characteristic enough to be correlated with the Middle Miocene floras of the Central Paratethys area (Wieliczka at Krakow - Middle Badenian) and with comparable floras in the Boreal Province (Kleinleipisch and Klettwitz Floral Assemblages in Germany - Middle Miocene). The obtained data corroborate the Badenian age for the Vrabce Member, the oldest tektite-bearing unit from where the fossils were collected (?the basal part of the Domanin Formation) and prove a short time span between the rain of tektites (Ries event, 15-14.5 Ma) and the deposition of this unit.
