Reynolds' Quarry (Cretaceous of the United Kingdom)

Also known as Queensground, Langton Matravers

Where: England, United Kingdom (50.6° N, 2.0° W: paleocoordinates 41.5° N, 7.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Stair Hole Member (Durlston Formation), Late/Upper Berriasian (145.0 - 140.2 Ma)

• in the "pink bed" of the Roach Stone = bed 50d of Damon's Purbeck strata, which probably = Durlston Fm., Intermarine Mb.

•Durlston Formation is likely upper Berriasian in age based on magnetostratigraphy (Ogg et al. 1994; Ogg et al. 2008) and correlates to other upper Berriasian assemblages in Europe (e.g. Wimbledon and Hunt 1993).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marginal marine; limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression, trace
