| Paleocoordinates: | 36.6° North, 0.9° East | ||||
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark | ||||
| Geographic resolution: | small collection |
Time
| Period: | Triassic | Epoch: | Late/Upper Triassic |
| Stage: | Rhaetian | 10 m.y. bin: | Triassic 4 |
| Key time interval: | Rhaetian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 208.50000 - 201.40000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Penarth | Formation: | Lilstock | Member: | Cotham |
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: In this area, the insect bed is almost the lowest bed of the Lower Lias and overlies the White Lias (Rhaetian), either in the lowermost Hettangian planorbis zone or uppermost Rhaetian pre-planorbis beds. At Strensham, it is in the pre-planorbis beds, although Handlirsch gives an "upper Lias" age. | |||||
