Stour Bank [Glauconitic Marl] (Cretaceous of the United Kingdom)

Where: England, United Kingdom (52.3° N, 2.3° W: paleocoordinates 41.1° N, 0.1° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Glauconitic Marl Formation, Early/Lower Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Glauconitic Marl, which overlies the Upper Greensand (Albian). AGE: Early Cenomanian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy; . STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From base of the Glauconitic Marl.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; poorly lithified, burrowed, concretionary, glauconitic, gray, green marl

• COMMENTS: Shallow marine siliciclastic setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Green-grey, very gritty, soft glauconitic marly chalk, with harder concretionary masses; intensely burrowed. LITHIFICATION: Poorly lithified on the basis of facies description.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression, concretion
