It is preceded by MN 4 and followed by MN 6 and is part of the Orleanian age of the middle Miocene. [1] MN 5 starts within magnetostratigraphic chron C5Cr, at 17.0 million years ago, and ends at the start of chron C5Bn.1r, at 15.0 million years ago, although some different correlations have been proposed.
