Micropalaeontological data from NEP1, NEP2, NEP3, Nördlingen, southern Germany

Three soil profiles from the Eger floodplain in Nördlingen in southern Germany (NEP1, NEP2 and NEP3), were sampled and micropalaeontological data were collected. Samples were weighted, wet sieved through 125 µm, dried on a heating plate at <60°C, and studied under a stereomicroscope at the University of Jena, Germany. Some specific particles of interest (plant remains, charcoal, mollusc and brick fragments) were assessed in semiquantitative abundance classes for each sample, while all other particles of interest were picked and counted in absolute abundances. This includes Mollusca, Ostracoda, reworked microfossils, macrobotanical remains (seeds and fruits), and insect and bone fragments. Where possible, taxa were identified down to species level.
