Where: Madanin, Tunisia (33.5° N, 10.3° E: paleocoordinates 6.6° S, 18.2° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Capitanian (264.3 - 259.5 Ma)

• Upper Dolomite Series is a member- or formation-level stratigraphic subdivision, but no details are given. Given that it occurs near Saikra, it likely correlates to the Saikra Biohermal Complex of Newell et al. (1976) and therefore is Capitanian.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; dolomite and dolomitic limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: surface (float), surface (in situ),

• Fossils collected over wide area of Djebel Tebaga. Trilobites occurs in dolomitic limestones.
