Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Kattendijk | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | member | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The specimen was found in situ in layers of the Kattendijk Formation, cropping out for more than 2 m along the walls of the Deurganck Dock. The Kattendijk Formation has been dated based on dinoflagellate cysts sampled in the Deurganck Dock and nearby sections (Verrebroek Dock, 2 km SWW; Tunnel-Canal Dock, 3.5 km NEE) from a 5 to 4.4 Ma time interval (Zanclean, early Pliocene; Louwye et al., 2004; De Schepper et al., 2009). | |||||
