Where: Madanin, Tunisia (33.4° N, 10.2° E: paleocoordinates 7.6° S, 18.0° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• basin-level geographic resolution
When: Wordian (266.9 - 264.3 Ma)
• "Baten beni Zid Series" includes the "dolomies inferieures" (lower Dolomite) and "marnes du Chabet en Guer" (Chabet en Guer marls). It is difficult to ascertain how this unit correlates to those of Newell et al. (1976). Wordian age is suggested by the co-occurrence of Neoschwagerina and Yabeina.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; marl and carbonate
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: surface (float), surface (in situ),
• Fossils collected over wide area of Djebel Tebaga.
