Also known as Argana Basin
Where: Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, Morocco (30.8° N, 9.1° W: paleocoordinates 2.0° N, 3.4° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Tourbihine Member (Ikakern Formation), Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)
• Data taken from Jalil and Janvier (2005). Tourbihine Member of Ikakern Formation corresponds to Level T2 of Argana Formation in Dutuit (1976).
•Tourbihine mbr. is Uppermost Capitanian to Lower Wuchiapingian according to Roscher & Schneider (2006, fig. 15 b). Because all the vertebrates come from the upper levels of the Tourbihine mbr. (Jalil and Janvier, 2005 fig. 2A), the collection is classified here as Wuchiapingian.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; red sandstone and conglomerate
Size class: macrofossils
