Where: Bulgaria (43.1° N, 23.7° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 22.9° N, 27.8° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Trochoceramus radiosus inoceramid zone, Darmantsi Formation, Early/Lower Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• Darmantsi Formation, includes ammonites of Pachydiscus cf. colligatus (Binkhorst) and P. neubergicus, and which is dominated by the inoceramid genera Cataceramus, Platyceramus and Trochoceramus. The inoceramids yielded a suite of characteristic species that are indicative for the lower Maastrichtian Trochoceramus radiosus inoceramid Zone.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Repository: Museum of Palaeontology and Historical Geology at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski"
