Where: England, United Kingdom (50.9° N, 0.4° E: paleocoordinates 41.7° N, 10.0° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Wadhurst Clay Formation (Wealden Group), Late/Upper Valanginian (140.2 - 136.4 Ma)
• "exposes a sequence of the Lower Tunbridge Wells Sands" Hastings beds; three closely related layers within a ca. 40 cm sequence. Also described as "mid-way within the Wadhurst Clay Formation"
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: wet floodplain; intraclastic, gray, argillaceous, sandy conglomerate and siltstone
•"The bonebed is a matrix-supported conglomerate with clasts of clay ironstone and bone fragments, ranging in size from 2 to 40 mm, in a matrix of medium-grained mature quartz grains and grey clay. The bed is laterally continuous over 20 m or more, and its lower and upper margins are abrupt."
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
