VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=150.8 suggested=149.2 confidence=medium — The Archaeopteryx-bearing Solnhofen beds are placed in the Hybonoticeras hybonotum zone, Early Tithonian, which on the current chronostratigraphic calibration spans 149.2–145.1 Ma; the stored 150.8 Ma predates the revised base of the Tithonian and reflects a superseded timescale. The stored end age of 148.5 Ma remains consistent with the Early Tithonian.
