Default caliper bolt fell off at 80 mph

who would have thought that an emergency brake would come in handy should there be an emergency with the brakes, such as a caliper falling off!
not i. well it happened, one of the bolts that holds the rt front caliper bracket to the spindle fell out, and when i tried to stop the centrifugal force shoved the caliper through the wheel. anyhoo, i cant figure out how to identify that bolt to order a new one. any ideas on the name of that bolt or proper function terminology?

The special bolt part # is JZB100010. I'm am guessing it is a GRADE 10.8 or 12.8 metric bolt.
