Also known as lower sequence; Fayum Faunal Zone 1
Where: Fayum, Egypt (29.5° N, 30.5° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 20.6° N, 31.8° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate stated in text
When: Jebel Qatrani Formation, Rupelian (33.9 - 28.1 Ma)
• "more likely" represents Chron 13r and therefore is "very latest Eocene in age" (Gunnell et al. 2008); Rupelian age after Coster et al. (2012), Chron 13R is Oligocene not Eocene
Environment/lithology: lacustrine; unlithified, green, silty mudstone
•Said to be a "green shale" or "green clay" by Simons (1989)
Size class: macrofossils
Collected in 1983, 1987, 1988
Collection methods: quarrying, surface (in situ),
