Where: Malaysia (1.1° N, 111.8° E: paleocoordinates 14.7° N, 121.2° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• hand sample-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Albian to Late/Upper Albian (105.3 - 93.9 Ma)
• some radiolarians of this assemblege are indicative of the Obesacapsula somphedia Zone (Schaaf, 1981)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: basinal (siliceous); lithified chert and lithified, cherty/siliceous mudstone
Size class: microfossils
Collection methods: bulk, hydroflouric,
• The Radiolaria were retrieved from the chert by using hydrofluoric acid following the method of Pessagno and Newport (1972)
