SGL1, roadcut flanking Sygkrellos (Cretaceous of Greece)

Where: Greece (38.8° N, 21.8° E: paleocoordinates 26.1° N, 18.9° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• These transitional, marly facies in the vicinity of Karpenisi were dated to the late Maastrichtian (~70-67 Ma) on the basis of a more diverse planktonic foraminiferal sample, including: †Contusotruncana (=†Globotruncana) contusa; †Globotruncana falsostuarti; †Globotruncana gansseri; †Globotruncanita (=†Globotruncana) stuarti (Fleury, 1980; taxonomy and biostratigraphic ranges updated sensu Huber & Petrizzo, 2019).
