Where: Mahajanga, Madagascar (15.9° S, 46.6° E: paleocoordinates 30.1° S, 38.4° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Anembalemba Member (Maevarano Formation), Maastrichtian (72.1 - 66.0 Ma)

• three bonebeds: BB1, BB2, BB3 - which should eventually be separated into distinct collections

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "channel"; sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: trace

Collected by D. Krause & crews in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007; reposited in the FMNH

Collection methods: quarrying, mechanical,

• Faunal list from formation includes "fishes, frogs, turtles, snakes, lizards, crocodiles, sauropod and non-avian theropod dinosaurs, and mammals", but these are certainly not all from site MAD 93-18. The site is productive and does contain many other taxa, but these were collected at other times, and are not listed in this paper - other papers need to be consulted.
