Angelokastro village, probably Potami Fm, sample GR 61 (Jurassic of Greece)

Where: Greece (37.7° N, 23.0° E: paleocoordinates 21.3° N, 22.2° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Potami Formation, Bathonian (168.3 - 166.1 Ma)

• Middle Bathonian

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal; cherty/siliceous chert

• It may be part of the sediments of the Migdhalitsa Ophiolite Unit (see Capedri

•et al. 1996) or may be a large (olistolithic) block in the Potami Formation of the Basal Sequence of the Dhidhimi–Trapezona Composite Unit.

• Radiolarian chert of the siliceous matrix collected at about 1 m from the base of the quarry.

Size classes: mesofossils, microfossils
