Also known as Langton Matravers

Where: England, United Kingdom (50.6° N, 2.0° W: paleocoordinates 41.5° N, 7.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Stair Hole Member (Durlston Formation), Late/Upper Berriasian (145.0 - 140.2 Ma)

• in the upper part of the Roach Stone, which probably = Durlston Fm., Intermarine Mb.

•Durlston Formation is likely upper Berriasian in age based on magnetostratigraphy (Ogg et al. 1994; Ogg et al. 2008) and correlates to other upper Berriasian assemblages in Europe (e.g. Wimbledon and Hunt 1993).

Preservation: mold/impression, trace

Collected by R. Newman in 1963–1964
