Where: Morocco (33.6° N, 7.7° W: paleocoordinates 33.6° N, 7.8° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Oulad Aj J'mel Member (Kef El Haroun Formation), Middle Pleistocene to Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.0 Ma)

• Tyrrhenian

•

•Based on Rhodes et al (2006) and Textier et al (2002), I think this collection comes from the Kef El Haroun Fm., Oulad Aj J'mel member, which Rhodes et al (2006) dated as 400 +- 139 ka using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). They indicate this could be MIS 9 or 11.

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithology not reported
