Where: Greenland (71.1° N, 23.3° W: paleocoordinates 55.7° N, 10.0° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Berriasian (145.0 - 139.8 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the lower marl and shale series of the "Hectoroceras beds". AGE: Spath (1947) dated the unit as infra-Valanginian, between the Tithonian and Valanginian (s.s.). This now correlates to the Berriasian stage. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within local section.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, micaceous, silty sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast, mold/impression
