Where: South Africa (31.1° S, 30.2° E: paleocoordinates 48.3° S, 15.7° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Umzamba Formation, Santonian (86.3 - 83.6 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Umzamba Fm, which regionally overlies the Albian-Coniacian Mzinene Fm. THICKNESS: Unknown bed and section thickness.
