Paleocoordinates:6.9° North, 24.1° East
Time
Period:Cretaceous Epoch:Early/Lower Cretaceous
Stage:Albian 10 m.y. bin:Cretaceous 4

Age range of interval:113.00000 - 100.50000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lithified sandstone
Environment:coastal indet.
Geology comments: Hauterivian-Barremian sediments suggest a general trend toward a more coastal to inner-shelf depositional environment. This may also be in- ferred from the high relative percentages of representatives of the genera Cribroperidinium, Cyclonephelium,Escharisphaeridiaand Systemato- phora.
