Also known as Aderbissinat
Where: Agadez, Niger (16.5° N, 7.8° E: paleocoordinates 7.6° N, 2.6° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Tiourarén Formation (Irhazer Group), Late/Upper Jurassic (161.5 - 145.0 Ma)
• Previously considered Bathonian–Callovian, but theropod remains suggest a Late Jurassic age for the fossiliferous horizons of the Tacuarembó Formation (see Serrano-Martínez et al. 2015 and Soto et al. 2020).
