Stratigraphy
Geological group:Yezo Formation:Hikagenosawa
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: Although the exact horizon is uncertain, judging from the locality, it probably came from the mudstone of the lower to middle parts of the Hikagenosawa Formation. In the Mikasa area this formation contains Oxytropidoceras (Adkinsites) sp. in the lowest part and Cantabrigites imaii (Yabe and Shimizu, 1931) in the main part (Matsumoto, 1965; Futakami et al., 2008). The former occurs in the Middle to Upper Albian (Wright et al., 1996), and the latter is restricted to the Upper Albian (Toshimitsu and Hirano, 2000). Therefore, the holotype’s source is likely the Upper Albian.
