Where: Tanzania (6.5° S, 38.3° E: paleocoordinates 25.2° S, 17.4° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Lugoba Formation, Bajocian (170.3 - 168.3 Ma)
• From the biohermal unit at the top of the Lugoba Formation. Forster gave a Bajocian-Bathonian age range for the Lugoba Formation, but Kapilima (2003) found Early Bajocian ammonites only ~10 m below the biohermal unit.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the BSP
