Where: New Zealand (40.9° S, 177.0° E: paleocoordinates 77.6° S, 168.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Gentle Annie Formation (Mangapurupuru Group), Albian (112.0 - 99.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Gentle Annie Fm, which unconformably (fault contact) abuts the Maringi Fm (Albian). AGE: Derived from the Maringi Fm, hence deposited during the Motuan (=Albian), on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Composite for entire formation.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, gray mudstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression

Reposited in the IGNS

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Multiple collectors. REPOSITORY: GSNZ (now GNS Science, Lower Hutt, New Zealand).
