Where: Austria (48.5° N, 16.4° E: paleocoordinates 32.8° N, 24.9° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Ernstbrunn Formation, Middle Tithonian to Middle Tithonian (150.8 - 145.0 Ma)
• Middle middle Tithonian to lower upper Tithonian, based on ammonite faunas from the Bachmayer collection (Zeiss, 2001). However, most ammonites were collected at the Ernstbrunn-Dörfles Werk II quarry, and most benthic taxa came from other quarries, according to Schneider et al. (2012). Calpionellid and other microfossil biostratigraphy suggests a Tithonian to early/middle Berriasian age for the whole Ernstbrunn limestone (Schneider et al., 2012).
