Einsingen, Würtemberg (Jurassic of Germany)

Where: Germany (48.3° N, 9.9° E: paleocoordinates 39.5° N, 18.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

When: Kimmeridgian (157.3 - 152.1 Ma)

• Foord and Crick give an age of Tithonian, but use it in the sense of the White Jura between the Oxfordian and Portlandian (i.e., the Kimmeridgian - consistent with the age of Nautilus ammoni elsewhere).
