Also known as CIT Loc. 3361

Where: Fresno County, California (36.6° N, 120.7° W: paleocoordinates 42.4° N, 96.6° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Marca Member (Moreno Formation), Late/Upper Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• There is uncertainty on the boundary between the Moreno and Panoche Formations in the area. Stock (1941) reported the specimen was found in strata 150 ft. below the Siphagenerinoides zone, however this zone has been referred to the Moreno Formation and the Panoche Formation by geologists. Considered to come from upper part (Marca Mb.) by Bell & Evans 2010.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; shale

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by C. Stock in 1939; reposited in the CIT, LACM

Collection methods: quarrying, mechanical,
