Where: Antarctica (64.2° S, 57.8° W: paleocoordinates 67.5° S, 48.4° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Bibby Point Member (Whisky Bay Formation), Albian (113.0 - 100.5 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Bibby Point Mbr of the Whisky Bay Fm, which is regionally overlain by the Hidden Lake Fm (Coniacian), and overlies the Kotick Point Fm.
