Boumerade, Lake Maider (Cretaceous of Morocco)

Where: DrĂ¢a-Tafilalet, Morocco (30.5° N, 4.7° W: paleocoordinates 17.8° N, 4.7° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

• Fossils were collected from an "approximately 2m thick horizon"; age of the Kem Kem is poorly constrained, but a Cenomanian age is supported by vertebrate biostratigraphy

•See revised palaeontology and geology of the Kem Kem beds in Ibrahim et al. 2020

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial; sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by N. Ibrahim et al. in 2008
