Where: Japan (37.0° N, 137.0° E: paleocoordinates 39.9° N, 134.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nanao Member (Akaura Formation), Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)

• "Nanao beds", now Nanao member of Akaura Formation. Glauconitic beds overlying the Akaura Formation have a maximum age of 14.8-14.5 Ma, based on diatom Denticulopsis hyalina (Hamada, 1996). Nanao calcareous sandstone is given a middle Miocene age (Fuji, 1969).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; poorly lithified, coarse-grained, calcareous sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
