Angelokastro village, probably Potami Fm, sample GR 268 (Triassic to of Greece)

Where: Greece (37.7° N, 23.0° E: paleocoordinates 14.7° N, 18.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Potami Formation, Norian to Norian (228.0 - 201.3 Ma)

• Late Norian to Rhaetian

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.
