Also known as Loc. 185 of Donovan (1953)

Where: Greenland (72.6° N, 22.6° W: paleocoordinates 57.0° N, 10.6° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Albrechts Bugt Member (Palnatokes Bjerg Formation), Early/Lower Valanginian (140.2 - 136.4 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Albrechts Bugt Mbr of the Palnatokes Bjerg Fm, which conformably overlies the Bernbjerg Fm (Jurassic). AGE: Valanginian, on the basis of ammonoid and belemnoid biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Composite list for the member at this section.
