Where: France (44.9° N, 0.5° E: paleocoordinates 35.8° N, 2.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• From Calcaire blanc (assise R de M. Arnaud), pierre de taille de Maurens, precisely located in Arnaud's bed b. Dr. M. Neumann compared the matrix of this specimen with the detailed section described by Neumann et al. (1984) and concluded that the lithology is that of unit 7 or 8 of their section and may thus be Upper Campanian.

Environment/lithology: lithified carbonate

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by Arnaud; reposited in the MNHN

• Repository: Sorbonne collection (SP), at University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris in the 1980s (now at MNHN)
