Also known as Collection #2588 (Hendy PhD); GS #163

Where: Canterbury, New Zealand (44.2° S, 171.1° E: paleocoordinates 51.7° S, 167.0° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Waihao Formation, Bartonian (41.3 - 38.0 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: Greensands. No lithostratigraphic data stated in text. Could be from the Kokoamu Greensand (Duntroonian), which is considerably younger than the Bortonian stated in text.

Environment/lithology: marine; poorly lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
