Romme and Bella Cha horizons, Sommier d'Aval, massif des Aravis, Haute-Savoie (Cretaceous to of France)

Where: France (46.0° N, 6.6° E: paleocoordinates 34.6° N, 10.3° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• hand sample-level geographic resolution

When: Bostan Member (Grès verts helvétiques Formation), Early/Lower Albian to Early/Lower Albian (112.0 - 99.6 Ma)

• Less than 1 meter. The poor conditions of the outcroup forgives precise collecting and the fossils from the Romme and Bella Cha horizons can't be differentiated.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; poorly lithified, bioturbated, condensed, phosphatic, calcareous sandstone and poorly lithified, sandy limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast
