Where: England, United Kingdom (51.3° N, 0.6° W: paleocoordinates 48.6° N, 4.3° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Bracklesham Beds Formation, Middle Eocene (47.8 - 37.7 Ma)

• Bracklesham Beds lie between the London Clay and the Barton Beds, they are middle Eocene. The bed numbers are probably just for the beds exposed at this locality and don't hold for the group elsewhere.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; shelly/skeletal, green sandstone and yellow, sandy claystone

Size class: macrofossils
