Gisement de la route de Coulmes (Cretaceous of France)

Where: France (45.2° N, 5.5° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 40.5° N, 25.9° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

When: Douvilleiceras mammillatum ammonoid zone, Mussel Member (Perte-du-Rhone Formation), Middle Albian (109.0 - 105.3 Ma)

• Perte-du-Rhône; Was Lumachelle.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: glauconitic, phosphatic limestone

• [The thin phosphate and glauconitic horizon, which rests on the very rubified surface of the lumachelle, delivers a fauna excessively abundant; however its state of conservation is variable.]

Size class: macrofossils
