Where: Angola (14.2° S, 12.3° E: paleocoordinates 29.9° S, 2.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Vascoceras cauvini ammonoid zone, Late/Upper Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• About 8 nodule horizons in 6 m of section. Vascoceras (Paravascoceras) cauvini comes from loose material but presumably indicates uppermost Cenomanian age, correlative to Vascoceras cauvini zone of Niger.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, nodular, brown siltstone

Size class: macrofossils
