Figols-Castigaleu sequence C1, facies 7, sample 65 (Eocene of Spain)

Where: Spain (42.3° N, 0.7° W: paleocoordinates 37.6° N, 2.3° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Ypresian (56.0 - 47.8 Ma)

• late Ypresian: chrons C23r through C22n and NP zones 12 and 13

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
