Where: Japan (32.9° N, 129.6° E: paleocoordinates 37.8° N, 125.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Okinoshima Formation, Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Okinoshima Fm, which conformably overlies the Hashima Fm and is unconformably overlain by the Iojima Fm. AGE: Late Eocene according to foraminiferal biostratigraphy in Asano (1958), and correlated to the Sakasegawa Shale. Kobayashi and Kamada (1959) suggest that the formation could even range from Middle-Late Eocene. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From bed of unknown thickness within 150 m thick formation.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression
