Where: South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (54.5° S, 36.1° W: paleocoordinates 54.5° S, 36.1° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Jurassic to Late/Upper Jurassic (161.5 - 100.5 Ma)

• Petrological similar to the Cumberland Bay type greywackes. As Belemnopsis has been reported from several Upper Jurassic-lowest Cretaceous sedimentary sequences in western Antarctica, a similar age is suggested for its occurrence in South Georgia.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected in 1971
