Where: DrĂ¢a-Tafilalet, Morocco (30.9° N, 3.9° W)
• Paleocoordinates: 25.2° N, 7.5° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate stated in text

When: Kem Kem Group, Early/Lower Cenomanian (100.5 - 93.9 Ma)
• 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; fine-grained sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
