Where: Antarctica (64.3° S, 56.9° W: paleocoordinates 62.3° S, 67.7° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: T. lilliei and T. longus zones pollen zone, López de Bertodano Formation, Late/Upper Campanian to Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 61.6 Ma)

• The stratigraphic framework and dinoflagellate cyst succession have been summarized for the Campanian to Paleocene of Seymour Island (Askin, 1988a).

•

•The lower and upper parts of the Seymour Island late Campanian to Maastrichtian succession (units 1-9 of López de Bertodano Formation) correspond respectively to the T. lilliei and T. longus Zones of southeastern Australia (Stover and Evans, 1973; Helby et al., 1987). Both parts correlate with the PM2 Zone of South Island, New Zealand (Raine, 1984).

•

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marginal marine; poorly lithified, gray, silty, sandy siltstone and lithified, muddy mudstone

Size class: microfossils
