Where: Japan (44.2° N, 142.0° E: paleocoordinates 48.9° N, 130.5° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nagareya Formation (Yezo Group), Early/Lower Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• Unit Ui-j, the lower part of the Nagareya Formation, mainly consists of mudstone, and its thickness is more than 350 m (Okamoto et al., 2003). Unit Ui-j contains Platyceramus japonicus, indicating the lowermost Campanian (Toshimitsu, 1988; Toshimitsu et al., 1995, 1998; Toshimitsu and Kikawa, 1997; Moriya and Hirano, 2001; Moriya et al., 2001; Okamoto et al., 2003; Toshimitsu et al., 2007). Platyceramus japonicus occurs only from this unit in the Haboro area (Okamoto et al., 2003). Three specimens of Eubostrychoceras described below were obtained from floated calcareous concretions that probably came from this unit (Locality 1 in Figure 1A), judging from co-occurring P. japonicus.
