Where: Hirakata, Japan (36.1° N, 139.2° E: paleocoordinates 38.0° N, 137.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Yagii Formation, Langhian to Langhian (16.0 - 5.3 Ma)

• The Yagii Formation is probably correlated with the Upper Itahana Formation, because they have common features in similar lithology and in lacking marine molluscan fossils.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; siltstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, original carbon

Collection methods: surface (in situ),
