'''Base''': The base of the subzone is immediately below the first appearance of the index species (Robaszynski ''et al''., 1998).

'''Top''': The top of the subzone is immediately below the first appearance of the ammonite ''Turrilites acutus'' (Robaszynski ''et al''., 1998). In some previous accounts (Bristow ''et al''., 1995, Fig. 50), the top of the subzone was made approximately co-incident with the top of the highest of three widely developed Cenomanian acmes of the brachiopod ''Orbirhynchia mantelliana''.

'''Range of the index species''': The index species ranges through the lower and middle part of the nominate subzone (Robaszynski ''et al.'', 1998).

'''Faunal abundance & preservation''': Some of fauna found at the base of the zone may be reworked and phosphatised from the underlying ''C. inerme'' Zone. Some components of the fauna are extremely abundant and vertically restricted in their occurrence (see Bio-markers). ''Acanthoceras'' tends to be poorly preserved as iron-stained chalky moulds.

'''Bio-markers''': At the base of the zone, ''Inoceramus tenuis'' is abundant in a hard limestone band (= top of couplet B43 of Gale, 1995; also known as the Tenuis Limestone), although this bed has been removed by erosion in basin-margin settings (see: standard macrofossil zonation and correlation of the UK Chalk Group). Immediately above this, there is an abundance of small brachiopods (''Capillithyris squamosa'', ''Grasirhynchia martini'', ''Kingena concinna'', ''Modestella geinitzi'') and ''Entolium orbiculare'' in a bed of silty chalk. In expanded successions, this horizon was identified as the lower part of couplet C1 in Gale's (1995) cyclostratigraphical scheme for the Cenomanian, but it has traditionally been referred to as the Cast Bed. In basin-margin settings, the fauna of the Cast Bed and some adjacent horizons is caught up in an erosive sandy deposit, named the Totternhoe Stone. Towards the middle of the zone there is an acme of the brachiopod ''Orbirhynchia'' ''mantelliana'', representing the highest of three widely developed acmes of this brachiopod in the Cenomanian. The ammonite ''Sciponoceras baculoides'' is common in the lower part of the zone and has an acme in a limestone bed coincident with the top of the acme of ''O''. ''mantelliana.''

'''Age''': Mid Cenomanian
