Where: Cameroon (4.5° N, 9.5° E: paleocoordinates 10.1° S, 0.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Mungo River Formation, Turonian (93.9 - 89.8 Ma)

• 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).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by E. Esch in 1897-1898; reposited in the MfN
