Geography
Country:Japan
Coordinates: 35.7° North, 140.9° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:45.8° North, 149.8° East (Wright 2013)
Basis of coordinate:estimated from map
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period: Cretaceous Epoch: Early Cretaceous
Stage: Barremian
Key time interval: Early Aptian Ammonoid zone:  Dufrenoyia furcata
Age range of interval: 121.4 - 119.57 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Inubouzaki
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Specimens illustrated by OBATA et al. (1975) come from the Kimihagama Formation [likely equivalent to the major part of the Kimihagama, Inubouzaki and Toriakeura formations in the sense of OBATA & MATSUKAWA (2009)], above the Ashikajima Formation [with Dufrenoyia aff. dufrenoyi (ORBIGNY, 1841)] and below the Nagasakihana Formation [with Chelo-niceras meyendorffi (ORBIGNY, 1845)]; these specimens can thus be attributed also to the top of the Early Aptian (= Dufrenoyia furcata Zone).
