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).
