Where: Central Otago, New Zealand (45.0° S, 170.1° E: paleocoordinates 51.2° S, 175.5° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Naseby Greensand Formation (Stranraer Group), Chattian (28.1 - 23.0 Ma)
• Described in text as from units of the Naseby Series (now Naseby Greensand), part of the Pareora Formation of Hutton (1875). From Bishop (1979): Naseby Greensand (Stranraer Group) is approximatey 250-300 m thick, underlain by metamorphosed schist or siltstone of the Eocene Swinburn Formation (Stranraer Group), and overlain conformably by current-bedded quartz sands and gravels of the late Oligocene/early Miocene Wedderburn Formation (Stranraer Group).
