Where: Turkey (37.4° N, 31.5° E: paleocoordinates 13.9° N, 26.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Akkuyu Formation, Late/Upper Tithonian (150.8 - 145.0 Ma)

• Protancyloceras zone

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, fine-grained limestone

• The Akkuyu Fm. consists of finely stratified mudstones containing a pelagic marine fauna of the Upper Jurassic age. Both the thickness and the color changes, from 200m of white, marly limestones to less than 40 m of black bituminous shales. 4 km WSW of Derebucak the Akkuyu Formation is represented by its more usual clearer facies. Occurence in a fine-grained limestone.
