Where: New Zealand (37.7° S, 175.0° E: paleocoordinates 76.4° S, 59.1° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Ohautira Conglomerate Formation, Toarcian to Toarcian (182.7 - 166.1 Ma)

• Late Temaikan. According to Stevens: "On the basis of stratigraphy, the Ohautira Conglomerate was assigned an age range of Ururoan-Temaikan (Kear 1966). Although the occurrence of cf. Catacoeloceras grangei indicates a Late Ururoan age, the presence at this locality of two rhynchonellids identified by MacFarlan (1992) is evidence of a younger (Temaikan) age. This raises the possibility that either the ammonite has been reworked or that the fossils in collection 9241 may have come from more than one horizon."
