Adrar Tiguirirt (Pérébaskine collection) (Paleocene to of Mali)

Where: Mali (17.0° N, 2.6° E: paleocoordinates 8.9° N, 2.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• Early Eocene, according to Miller (1951). However, 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.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression

Collected by Pérébaskine ; reposited in the MNHN
