Fundschicht

Science
Geology
Here is the context:
"In den Gebieten von... konnte Surkina folgende Pollen-Sporen Komplexe in der Rustak Formation nachweisen. Nach der Zusammensetzung der Pollen können die Fundschichten des Profils Farkhar-Gasistan in das Pliozän eingestuft werden."
I am guessing it is something along the lines of a layer yielding a find or discovery, but I am missing a more compact way to say this in English. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
