Where: Mali (18.9° N, 0.3° W: paleocoordinates 11.2° N, 4.8° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Teberemt Formation, Selandian to Selandian (61.6 - 56.0 Ma)

• Although found in float, Keller noted that the original provenance was from the Eocene limestone that forms the cliffs around the banks of the wadi. Age is very likely Paleocene, and possibly Thanetian, and presumably comes from the Teberemt Formation of O'Leary et al. (2019), because it is the highly fossiliferous unit and as the early Eocene Tamaguélelt Formation is a phosphorite that has almost no shelly fossils.

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression

Collected by Augiéras-Draper expedition in 1927-1928
