Where: Denmark (55.1° N, 14.8° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 45.4° N, 25.2° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Bavnodde Greensand Formation, Early/Lower Santonian (85.8 - 83.5 Ma)

• 'Lower Santonian on belemnite evidence'

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
