Where: Germany (48.3° N, 9.9° E: paleocoordinates 39.5° N, 18.4° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
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).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified limestone
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Reposited in the BMNH
