Where: Antarctica (64.2° S, 57.8° W: paleocoordinates 67.5° S, 48.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Kotick Point Formation, Albian (113.0 - 100.5 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Kotick Point Fm, which is regionally overlain by the Whisky Bay Fm (Albian-Coniacian). AGE: Albian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy; here placed in the Albian on the basis of stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From beds in upper part of the section.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, sandy conglomerate

• ENVIRONMENT: Offshore siliciclastic marine setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Sandy conglomerate beds, based on Figure 5 of Medina et al. (1992). LITHIFICATION: Assumed to be lithified.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Presumably the authors, F. A. Medina, L. Buatois, A. Lopez Angriman. REPOSITORY: Not stated in text.
