Where: Greenland (70.7° N, 53.3° W: paleocoordinates 62.6° N, 20.7° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Eqalulik Formation, Danian (66.0 - 61.6 Ma)
• macrofauna of the Eqalulik Formation has early Danian affinities (Rosenkrantz, 1970), palyno- and nannostratigraphy suggest a late Danian age (upper NP3 – lower NP4 nannoplankton zone, 63–62 Ma; NøhrHansen & Sheldon 2000; Anthonissen & Ogg 2012).
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithology not reported
