Pelegrin Peninsula tracksite, Hvar (Cretaceous of Croatia)

Where: Splitsko-Dalmatinska, Croatia (43.2° N, 16.4° E: paleocoordinates 27.2° N, 15.8° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Early/Lower Coniacian (89.3 - 85.8 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; shelly/skeletal, brown wackestone

• "periodically changed environments of the shallow lagoonal or peritidal zone"
• "The lowermost, massive, 50 cm-thick light-brownish limestone bed (II-1) is overlain by a 10 cm, light-brown limestone bed (II-2) that contains the tracks on its surface. This track-bearing layer is covered by a 20 cm-thick light-brownish, laminated limestone (II-3). The three rock layers are made up of bioclastic wackestone–packstone, and lamination is present in all the samples (samples II-1, II-2, II-3), but bioturbation can be observed only in sample II-3."
