Where: Lithuania (55.1° N, 24.4° E: paleocoordinates 44.9° N, 21.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Jiesia Formation, Late/Upper Albian (105.3 - 99.6 Ma)

• Considered to be of Cenomanian age by Dalinkevičius (1935), on the basis of faunal similarity (fish and invertebrate taxa) to levels elsewhere in Europe (see also Dalinkevičius, 1934). At present, this deposit is assigned to the Jiesia Formation (see Grigelis and Suveizdis, 1993; Grigelis, 1999) and dated as late Albian (Mertiniene, 1978, 1980,

•1982; Grigelis and Kisnérius, 1982).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, green mudstone

Size class: macrofossils
