Uhangri tracksite III (Cretaceous of South Korea)

Where: Jeollanam-do, South Korea (34.6° N, 126.4° E: paleocoordinates 38.5° N, 115.0° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Upper Member (Uhangri Formation), Campanian (83.6 - 72.1 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; bioturbated, pyritic, black shale and sandstone

• "Laminated black shale and cherty mudstone alternating with stratified sandstone. Symmetrical wave ripples in stratified sandstone, syneresis cracks, drifted small plant debris and various vertebrate tracks in the black shale indicate that the water level remained rather low, suggesting a marginal lacustrine depositional environment. Calcareous nodules and pyrite framboids commonly occur in the black shale."

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: trace

Collection methods: mechanical,
