One group dates from an early part of the period, the Barremian, and the other is from tens of millions of years later.
A problem, however, is the current dearth of reliable dates from the Middle Jurassic Oxfordian Stage to the Early Cretaceous Barremian Stage, a span of some 35 million years.
The "drowning" of the mega-bank occurred earlier in the northern part of the Blake Plateau/Grand Banks (in Barremian time, about 115 million years ago) than the southern part (late Albian, about 100 million years ago).
