Loc. B, Remarkable Hill (Cretaceous of Australia)

Where: Western Australia, Australia (23.0° S, 114.1° E: paleocoordinates 50.1° S, 100.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Maastrichtian (72.1 - 66.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unknown lithostratigraphic unit. Appear to have no faunal compositional similarity to the Miria Formation (Maastrichtian) from nearby, so possibly a different unit. AGE: Maastrichtian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From 5 ft thic sandstone that is overlain by limestones, 85 ft in thickness (formerly assumed to be Campanian).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, glauconitic sandstone

• ENVIRONMENT: No environmental data reported. Presumably from a shallow marine siliciclastic setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Glauconitic sandstone. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, on the basis of figured specimens.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression
