Locality 1, Serre de Bleyton (Cretaceous of France)

Where: Drôme, France (44.5° N, 5.3° E: paleocoordinates 34.8° N, 15.1° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: slope; poorly lithified, shelly/skeletal, gray, sandy marl and shelly/skeletal, gray limestone

• The Serre de Bleyton section comprises mainly turbiditic sediments (Arnaud 2005), including bioclastic grainstones rich in meso-scale fossils. The assemblages include both autochthonous and reworked components deposited in basin-floor fans (Adatte et al. 2005; Arnaud 2005). The latter deriving from the Provence Platform and hemipelagic areas to the north-west of the Vocontian Trough.
• The section comprises a light-grey intercalation of marls and limestone beds

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Collected by G. Moosleitner; reposited in the NHMW

Collection methods: bulk, surface (in situ), chemical, sieve
