Where: Madanin, Tunisia (33.4° N, 10.2° E: paleocoordinates 6.9° S, 18.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Wordian to Wordian (266.9 - 259.5 Ma)

• Lowest unit of Merbah el Oussif Series, a member or formation-level stratigraphic subdivision, but no details are given and it is difficult to correlate to the units established by Newell et al. (1976). If this is above the Baten beni Zid Series (as suggested in the paper), it is Capitanian, but there are many structural complications according to Newell (1976).

Environment/lithology: marine; marl

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: surface (float), surface (in situ),

• Fossils collected over wide area of Djebel Tebaga.
