Where: SantarĂ©m, Portugal (39.5° N, 8.8° W: paleocoordinates 32.4° N, 2.7° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Serra de Aire Formation, Bathonian (168.3 - 166.1 Ma)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; massive, peloidal grainstone
•No lamination is observed. Sparitic and micritic matrix are found, therefore this microfacies can be classiffed both as pelbiosparite and pelbiomicrite, respectively. In fact, both kinds of matrix are observed in a single thin section."
