Where: Morocco (30.7° N, 9.8° W: paleocoordinates 24.9° N, 4.1° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Taboulouart Formation, Early/Lower Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Taboulouart Fm, which unconformably overlies the Talmest Fm (Early Cretaceous), and is in turn overlain by the Bouzergoun Fm (Early Cretaceous).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified limestone and lithified, shelly/skeletal marl
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast, mold/impression
