Where: Italy (45.3° N, 11.7° E: paleocoordinates 28.3° N, 12.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Scaglia Variegata Alpina Formation, Late/Upper Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• There, the BL consisted of a lensoid body of alternating grey to black bituminous shales and bituminous marls. The excavation reports clearly indicate that the fish assemblage mainly derived from the lower laminated bituminous shales.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, carbonaceous shale

Size class: macrofossils
