Where: England, United Kingdom (50.6° N, 2.1° W: paleocoordinates 41.3° N, 7.9° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Pectinatites pectinatus ammonoid zone, Kimmeridge Clay Formation (Ancholme Group), Early/Lower Tithonian (150.8 - 145.0 Ma)

The horizon was incorrectly given as rotunda Zone by Brown (1981:301)" (Brown et al. 1986:226)
