Where: Germany (47.8° N, 12.7° E: paleocoordinates 33.7° N, 15.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pattenau Formation, Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• The superjacent marly clays of the typical Pattenau facies are ranging from the foraminiferal zone of Globotruncana ventricosa up to the zone of Globotruncanella havanensis in the Middle and Late Campanian (respectively from Planoglobulina carseyae to P. manuelensis according to the Heterohelicids). The uppermost layers of the clays yielded Belemnitella minor and B. cf. langei. In the upper foraminiferal ventricosa zone a rich radiolarian fauna comes in corresponding to the uppermost Crucella espartoensis radiolarian zone. A regional subzone of Calyptocoryphe cranaa Foreman can be recognized atop the espartoensis-Zone.
