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

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• from pink bed of the Roach Stone = DB 124c

•

•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).
