Also known as Bosung, Bibongri

Where: Jeollanam-do, South Korea (34.7° N, 127.2° E: paleocoordinates 39.0° N, 115.6° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Seonso Conglomerate Formation, Campanian (83.6 - 72.1 Ma)

• also called "Seonso Formation"; lower part of formation. 2 fossiliferous beds.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

• "The strata consists of alternating sandstones and mudstones, which represent channel and floodplain deposits respectively, with the majority of the eggs associated with calcareous paleosols." Eggs from paleosols: "The paleosols are pale to red, composed of carbonate-rich mudstone, sandy mudstone and pebbly mudstone...pedogenic calcrete nodules...dessication cracks..."
