• coordinate based on political unit

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Unit 5 Member (Camarillas Formation), Early/Lower Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)

• Unit 5 is composed of two sub-units: 5-I (lower) and 5-II (upper). Diaz et al. 1984

•Sub-unit is not differentiated for this locality.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deltaic; mudstone and sandstone

• Lower sub-unit 5-I: fluvially dominated channels; low sinuosity; vertical acretion; unidirectional currents. Upper sub-unit 5II: tidally influenced channels with sigmoidal bundles, subordinate currents (Diaz et al. 1984).
• "The thickest unit is lithofacies 5, composed of mudstones, sandstones and conglomerates. The sandstones and gravels are found in channels which may be 8 m thick (Diaz et al. 1984).

Size class: macrofossils
