Where: France (44.3° N, 3.3° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 34.4° N, 21.9° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Pliensbachian (189.6 - 183.0 Ma)
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified marl
• Mid to lower shelf settings. Dark-gray fine-grained sediment point to high rates of sedimentation, high turbidity, intermittently lowered oygen values and soft to soupy substrate conditions.
• Argillaceous-marly sediments. Fossils were collected from marls.
Size class: macrofossils
