Arachneon Mountin area (Paleocene of Greece)
Where: Greece (37.7° N, 23.0° E: paleocoordinates 26.4° N, 19.4° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Arachneon Formation, Paleocene (66.0 - 56.0 Ma)
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; limestone
• The Paleocene and Eocene deposits of the region are marine shallow water sediments. The development of facies, and the occurrence of some shales and grits associated with the limestones suggest a location not too far from the coast line.
Size class: macrofossils
