Where: France (44.9° N, 0.5° E: paleocoordinates 35.8° N, 2.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• The bed corresponds to unit 3 of the details Maurens section of Neumann et al. (1984) and is regarded as Lower Maastrichtian in microfossil terms. That microfossil boundary now known to be well below Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary and the species is restricted to the Upper Campanian.

Environment/lithology: lithified carbonate

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by Arnaud; reposited in the MNHN

• Repository: Sorbonne collection (SP), at University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris in the 1980s (now at MNHN)
