Ewekoro Quarry (Paleocene of Nigeria)

Where: Nigeria (6.9° N, 3.2° E: paleocoordinates 1.3° S, 3.5° W)

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Globorotalia pusilla pusilla-Morozovella angulata - lower Globorotalia pseudomenardii foram zone, Ewekoro Formation, Selandian (61.6 - 59.2 Ma)

• Globorotalia pusilla pusilla-Morozovella angulata zone and lower part of the Globorotalia pseudomenardii zone (Petters & Olsson, 1979). Overlain by the AKINBO Formation unconformably.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, shelly/skeletal, gray packstone

• The fossil content, which includes several shallow water and littoral taxa, e.g. neritids (Velates nigeriensis, new species), the worn nature of the bioclastic fragments and their good sorting indicate accumulation under a high-energy, littoral to shallow-shelf condition. The overlying unit also contains rounded grains, sorting, channel-fills, and crossbeds, further supporting an open shallow subtidal.

• Coquinoidal limestone, sandy at the base (light brown to gray sandy biomicrosparite limestone with few bioclastic fragments), shelly in the middle (massive gray limestone with abundant shells, echinoids and corals, and little terrigenous matter; coarse-grained and recrystallized) and sparry at the top (algal biosparite with few fosils. Channel-fills and high-energy crossbedded units are locally common). The middle and main fossiliferous unit is a shelly biomicrite, a light brownish-gray bioclastic limestone. Many of the shells were broken or heavily abraded prior to deposition. The matrix is micrite and contains only a small amount of terrigenous material. Quartz grains are generally present in small quantities though occasional sandy pockets are encountered.

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: replaced with calcite
