Angelokastro village, probably Potami Fm, sample GR 62E (Jurassic to of Greece)

Where: Greece (37.7° N, 23.0° E: paleocoordinates 21.2° N, 22.2° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Potami Formation, Bajocian to Bajocian (170.3 - 164.7 Ma)

• Early-middle Bajocian to middle Bathonian

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal; chert

• It may be part of the sediments of the Migdhalitsa Ophiolite Unit (see Capedri

•et al. 1996) or may be a large (olistolithic) block in the Potami Formation of the Basal Sequence of the Dhidhimi–Trapezona Composite Unit.

• Chert nodule with ferromanganese coating.
