Where: Japan (44.1° N, 141.8° E: paleocoordinates 48.7° N, 130.3° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Upper Haborogawa Formation (Yezo Group), Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unit Ui-j, Upper Haborogawa Fm overlying Middle Haborogawa Fm of the Yezo Gp and underlying the Campanian-Maastrichtian Pankezawa Fm. THICKNESS: 120-150 m. AGE: Campanian-Maastrichtian, but at base of this succession and hence assigned a Campanian age,., Inoceramus japonicus zone.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, bioturbated mudstone

• ENVIRONMENT: No environmental data reported. Assigned to Siliciclastic - offshore on the basis of facies description. TECTONIC SETTING: No tectonic data reported. SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY: No sequence stratigraphic data reported.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Bioturbated mudstone. LITHIFICATION: Unknown lithification, assumed to be lithified.
