Where: Poland (50.9° N, 21.9° E: paleocoordinates 40.7° N, 19.7° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Early/Lower Cenomanian to Early/Lower Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• According to Marcinowski and Walaszczyk (1985), the ammonite assemblage from this level is composed of numerous lower Cenomanian taxa plus those characteristic of the middle Cenomanian Acanthoceras rhotomagense Zone (with mixed elements of both the Turrilites costatus and T. acutus subzones). Foraminiferal assemblages include the planktonic Rotalipora cushmani, which is a middle to early late Cenomanian form and is compatible with the ammonite-based dating of this unit (Walaszczyk 1987). Given the age-range of the associated ammonites, which are preserved as mineralised moulds, the studied nautilid material is best considered as early to/or middle Cenomanian in age.
