Also known as Cerithium Limestone (Denmark) fauna

Where: Denmark (57.0° N, 9.7° E: paleocoordinates 50.3° N, 7.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: P0-P1a foram zone, Cerithium Limestone Member (Rødvig Formation), Danian (66.0 - 61.6 Ma)

• Stevns Klint. Cerithium Limestone, cut by hardground. Dated by underlying. Danian Fish Clay = Fiskeler Member (P0 foraminiferal zone). Cerithium Limestone contains P0-P1a foraminiferal zone. Lower Danian.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified, burrowed, hardground limestone

Size classes: macrofossils, microfossils

Preservation: mold/impression, original aragonite, original calcite, original silica, replaced with calcite

Collection methods: Some bulk samples processed in the field, remeaning material processed in laboratory. Lab preparation involved "drying, weighing and hammering samples into small prieces. Each piece examined under microscope in search of molds."
