Where: Czech Republic (50.0° N, 15.6° E: paleocoordinates 39.4° N, 14.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Korycany Member (Peruc-Korycany Formation), Late/Upper Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Korycany Mbr of the Peruc-Korycany Fm, which overlies an Early Palaeozoic diabase, and is overlain by the Bilá Fm. AGE: Late Cenomanian, presumably on the basis of foraminiferal and macrofossils biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From a deep depression, named the Giant Channel, situated in the eastern part of the quarry. Collection is from the basal unit of the channel, Unit 1 (lower conglomerate).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, pebbly, sandy, calcareous conglomerate

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original calcite, replaced with silica
