Where: England, United Kingdom (50.9° N, 0.1° W: paleocoordinates 40.7° N, 1.5° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Middle Chalk Group, Early/Lower Turonian (93.5 - 89.3 Ma)

• "Baed on the examination of geological maps and stratigraphic descriotions of the chalk deposits of the South Downs, it is reasonable to conclude that for BMB 007156, the assignment of the locality to the Middle Chalk is probably accurate though far from specific (Gaster, 1937; Kennedy, 1969). Based on the features of this specimen (see below), we also do not assign it to Coniasaurus contra Owen (1850)" (Caldwell & Cooper 1999, p. 429).
