Also known as Asselar
Where: Mali (18.9° N, 0.2° W: paleocoordinates 11.2° N, 4.8° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Teberemt Formation, Selandian to Selandian (61.6 - 56.0 Ma)
• Age is very likely Paleocene, and possibly Thanetian, and presumably comes from the Teberemt Formation of O'Leary et al. (2019), because it is the highly fossiliferous unit and as the early Eocene Tamaguélelt Formation is a phosphorite that has almost no shelly fossils.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
Collected by Chudeau
Collection methods: surface (float),
• Repository: Possibly MNHN
