Also known as DL73, GS 12122, GS 13984
Where: New Zealand (44.3° S, 176.0° W: paleocoordinates 60.7° S, 132.8° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Kahuitara Tuff Formation (Pitt Island Group), Campanian (83.6 - 72.1 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Pitt Island Group includes Kahuitara Tuff, Southern Volcanics, and an unamed Haumurian limestone. The Kahuitara Tuff rests unconformably upon the Tupuangi Formation and passes into the Southern Volcanics without disconformity. THICKNESS: Maximum thickness of 225 m. AGE: Early Haumurian. To avoid orphaning the collection is placed into the Campanian (=early Haumurian)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: transition zone or lower shoreface; lithified, coarse-grained, pebbly, tuffaceous sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Unknown abbreviations (MAC, 1977). REPOSITORY: Presumably reposited in the New Zealand Geological Survey collections (now GNS Science), Lower Hutt, New Zealand
