Where: Oman (22.3° N, 57.3° E: paleocoordinates 3.8° S, 46.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Natih Formation (Wasia Group), Late/Upper Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From informal member C of the Natih Fm, which overlies the Nahr Umr Fm (Early to mid-Albian), and is overlain unconformably by the Fiqa Fm (Santonian).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, shelly/skeletal limestone

• ENVIRONMENT: Shallow marine carbonate setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Limestone, with microbioclasts. LITHIFICATION: Lithified on the basis of figured specimens.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression
