Skolis Mountain area (Cretaceous of Greece)
Where: Greece (38.0° N, 21.6° E: paleocoordinates 21.3° N, 19.2° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Skolis Formation, Santonian (86.3 - 83.6 Ma)
• Middle Cretaceous (probably Santonian)
Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; limestone
• The Paleocene and Eocene deposits of the region are marine shallow water sediments. The development of facies, and the occurrence of some shales and grits associated with the limestones suggest a location not too far from the coast line.
• Limestones
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
