Where: New Zealand (40.5° S, 172.6° E: paleocoordinates 50.6° S, 177.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Kaihoka Member (Abel Head Formation), Chattian (28.1 - 23.0 Ma)
• Late Whaingaroan to Duntroonian, according to Strogan et al. (2019). Kaihoka Member is middle-upper part (Titheridge, 1977), so a Chattian age is tentatively assigned.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: shoreface; conglomeratic sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
