Where: Poland (50.8° N, 19.0° E: paleocoordinates 42.1° N, 26.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Morrisi ammonoid zone, Middle Bathonian (167.7 - 164.7 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: transition zone or lower shoreface; poorly lithified, black claystone

• deep-water and soft-bottom environments
