Some fiction titles put a small block of text listing relevant setting details like the scene's time, date, and location between chapters' section headings and bodies. Heres an example:

Chapter or Section Heading
Time
Date
Location
Body Text…

Does this block of text have a name, and, if so, what is it? I haven't yet been successful in finding any reference material giving it one so far.

I'd probably call it a dateline if it's describing time/date/location. If it's a subheader or describing anything about the content, it's a dek (that's the correct spelling, from journalism, without the C).
