Where: New Zealand (38.1° S, 177.2° E: paleocoordinates 80.8° S, 179.2° E)

• coordinate based on unpublished field data

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Aptian (125.5 - 112.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unnamed lithostratigraphic unit, which unconformably overlies the Torlesse Supergroup. AGE: Korangan-Urutawan, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy. Here placed in Korangan = Aptian based on its stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From 80 m above base of formation.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; poorly lithified, fine-grained sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression
