Also known as Loc. 3009

Where: Japan (32.5° N, 130.5° E: paleocoordinates 39.9° N, 120.0° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Hinoshima Formation, Early/Lower Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Hinoshima Fm, which locally unconformably overlies granitic rocks, and is overlain by the Amura Fm (Campanian) AGE: Late Santonian-Campanian. Here assigned to the Early Campanian on the basis of stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From bed 1, near the base of the section.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep-water; poorly lithified, lenticular, shelly/skeletal, conglomeratic sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
