Where: England, United Kingdom (50.6° N, 1.5° W: paleocoordinates 40.8° N, 9.4° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Wessex Formation (Wealden Group), Barremian to Barremian (129.4 - 122.5 Ma)
• "This material cannot be satisfactorily assigned to a Wealden Group horizon" (Sweetman & Martill 2010). However, if the locality "Brook" refers to Brook Bay, rather than a wider vicinity, then the specimen is likely from the Wessex Formation because the Vectis Formation is not present at Brook Bay (Sweetman & Martill 2010).
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: crevasse splay; conglomerate and mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
