Loc. 3095, Cabiri (Cenomanian) (Cretaceous of Angola)

Where: Angola (8.7° S, 13.7° E: paleocoordinates 24.9° S, 0.7° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Early/Lower Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unknown lithostratigraphic unit. AGE: Possibly including Cenomanian-Santonian, on the basis of ammonoid biostratigraphy. Here assigned to Turonian-Santonian to avoid stratigraphic orphaning. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple beds within the local area.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified lithology not reported

• ENVIRONMENT: Not stated in text, but presumably shallow marine environment.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Not reported in text. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, on the basis of figured specimens and facies description.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression
