Paleoparadoxiid fossils were discovered in the Shukunohora Formation of the Mizunami Group exposed in the Toki River bed in Shimogiri-ku, Kamado-cho, Mizunami City, in 2022. In order to clarify the age of the Shukunohora Formation in this locality, we determined stron-tium isotopic ages using shell fossil samples that were cooccurred with paleoparadoxiid fossils. The strontium isotopic ages suggest that the depositional age of the paleoparadoxiid-bearing horizon is ca. 16.5 Ma.
