Also known as GS5655
Where: New Zealand (45.0° S, 170.6° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 46.5° S, 160.3° W (Wright 2013)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Livingstone Sand Member (Tapui Glauconitic Sandstone Formation), Bartonian (41.3 - 38.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Livingstone Sand Mbr (tongue) of the Tapui Glauconitic Sand Fm, immediately overlying the Kauru Fm (Teurian), and overlain locally by Raki Siltstone (Kaiatan). AGE: Bortonian of Gage (1957) = late Lutetian-Bartonian, here assigned to the Bartonian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: A tongue within the formation. It is uncertain whether the member underlies or grades laterally into the Incholme Glacuonitic Sand.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, fine-grained, pebbly, brown sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast, mold/impression, concretion
Reposited in the IGNS
