Where: Basse-Normandie, France (49.3° N, 0.0° W: paleocoordinates 39.5° N, 10.2° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Marnes de Dives Formation, Late/Upper Callovian (164.7 - 161.2 Ma)
• found at base of cliffs, so original formation source uncertain, but matrix and placement support derivation from the Upper Callovian beds
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; ooidal marl
