Also known as Herston Cross

Where: England, United Kingdom (50.6° N, 2.0° W: paleocoordinates 41.5° N, 7.9° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Stair Hole Member (Durlston Formation), Late/Upper Berriasian (145.0 - 140.2 Ma)

• Equivalent to DB 125; originally described as the Pink Bed (lower part of Roach). Also a surface on the "sugar" bed.

•Durlston Formation is likely upper Berriasian in age based on magnetostratigraphy (Ogg et al. 1994; Ogg et al. 2008) and correlates to other upper Berriasian assemblages in Europe (e.g. Wimbledon and Hunt 1993).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression, trace
