Local order:bottom to top
Regional section:Chikubetsu
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unit Ui-j, Upper Haborogawa Fm overlying Middle Haborogawa Fm of the Yezo Gp and underlying the Campanian-Maastrichtian Pankezawa Fm. THICKNESS: 120-150 m. AGE: Campanian-Maastrichtian, but at base of this succession and hence assigned a Campanian age,., Inoceramus japonicus zone.
