Also known as UB 7106

Where: England, United Kingdom (50.7° N, 1.6° W: paleocoordinates 49.1° N, 5.4° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• Osborne beds occur between the Headon Beds and the Bembridge Limestone within the Hampshire Basin, part of the "Fluvio-marine Beds", this collection is approx. 4m above UB 7103

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marginal marine; concretionary, shelly/skeletal, brown, green, sandy marl and intraclastic, sandy limestone

Size class: mesofossils

Collection methods: This is probably the same location used by Prestwich, 1946, but his stratigraphy is all screwed up, it is my guess that his bed 67 is the same as HH5
