Also known as S44/f585; GS 3341
Where: New Zealand (42.5° S, 171.2° E: paleocoordinates 48.7° S, 173.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Stillwater Mudstone Formation (Blue Bottom Group), Waiauan (13.1 - 11.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Stillwater Mudstone, which overlies the Inangahua Formation (Otaian-Altonian) and underlies the Eight Mile Formation (Tongaporutuan-Waipipian) of the Blue Bottom Group. The Stillwater Mudstone includes the Tindale Limestone Member. AGE: Macrofossil biostratigraphy indicates a Waiauan-Tongaporutuan age, while microfossils suggest a Waiauan age.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: deep-water; unlithified, concretionary, gray, blue siltstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite
Collection methods: quarrying,
• COLLECTOR: A.G. Beu, M. Gage, R.H. Hoskins, S.M. Jarman, P.A. Maxwell, S.G. Nathan. REPOSITORY: Mostly reposited at New Zealand Geological Survey (now GNS Science), Lower Hutt, New Zealand
