Where: Japan (43.0° N, 144.4° E: paleocoordinates 45.3° N, 140.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Teshibetsu Formation (Urahoro Group), Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From "Tenneru Fm" (informal, disused) of the Teshibetsu Fm, Urahoro Gp (Middle Eocene) and underlies the Shitakara Fm (Upper Eocene) of the Urahoro Gp.
