Where: England, United Kingdom (51.2° N, 0.8° E: paleocoordinates 41.0° N, 2.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Middle Turonian to Middle Turonian (93.5 - 89.3 Ma)

• "The specimens were found in the chalk detritus, and, therefore, may have come from the Upper or Lower Chalk or Chalk-marl; but more probably from the Upper Chalk". The Charing Cross Pit exposes the Glynde Marl and Southerham Marl from around the contact between the New Pit Chalk and Lewes Nodular Chalk (present day Middle Chalk-Upper Chalk contact). This modern pit is not necessarily the same as the mid-19th century locality, but the evidence suggests a Middle or Late Turonian age.

Environment/lithology: lithified chalk

Size class: macrofossils
