Also known as N78/f530; GS9747
Where: New Zealand (38.2° S, 177.2° E: paleocoordinates 80.9° S, 179.2° E)
• coordinate based on unpublished field data
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Aptian (125.0 - 113.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unnamed lithostratigraphic unit, which unconformably overlies the Torlesse Supergroup. AGE: Korangan-Urutawan, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy. Here placed in Korangan = Aptian based on its stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From 20-50 m above base of formation.

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, fine-grained, medium sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast, mold/impression
