Time
| Period: | Cretaceous | Epoch: | Early/Lower Cretaceous |
| Stage: | Berriasian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cretaceous 1 |
| Key time interval: | Late/Upper Berriasian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 140.60000 - 139.80000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Purbeck | Formation: | Durlston | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: from a freestone bed (Damon's bed 50b) 4-5 ft below the "Roach bed" as well as the Roach Bed (50d) = "Langton Freestone"
Durlston Formation is likely upper Berriasian in age based on magnetostratigraphy (Ogg et al. 1994; Ogg et al. 2008) and correlates to other upper Berriasian assemblages in Europe (e.g. Wimbledon and Hunt 1993). | |||||
