Also known as Bourgogne, Burgandy, Cote-d'Or

Where: Bourgogne, France (47.9° N, 4.6° E: paleocoordinates 38.7° N, 13.9° E)

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Middle Oxfordian (161.2 - 155.7 Ma)

• Plicatilis zone

•The ferruginous oolite immediately overlies the Callovian limestones of the Dalle nacrée, but is separated by an important gap [unconformity]. Mixed muds/marl overlie the oolite.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; lithified, ferruginous, ooidal, gray, blue limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Etrochey specimens are from the collection of J. Beaudoin. Localities around Dijon also yield typical invertebrates and possibly vertebrates - those specimens are not listed specifically but are said to be housed in the Collection of l'Institut des Sciences de la Terre de l'Université de Dijon.
