Geography
Country:Cameroon
Coordinates: 4.5° North, 9.5° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:10.1° South, 0.8° East
Basis of coordinate:estimated from map
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period: Cretaceous Epoch: Late Cretaceous
Stage: Turonian 10 m.y. bin: Cretaceous 6
Key time interval: Turonian
Age range of interval: 93.9 - 89.8 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Mungo River
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: The Esch expedition collected material largely from float blocks, so many localities contain a mixed ammonite fauna. Some specimens also appear to be mislabeled or the locality is questioned by Reyment (1954).
