Geography
| Country: | Morocco |
| Coordinates: | 31.1° North, 4.2° West (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 34.2° South, 5.1° East |
| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
Time
| Period: | Devonian | Epoch: | Late/Upper Devonian |
| Stage: | Famennian | 10 m.y. bin: | Devonian 5 |
| Key time interval: | Famennian | Conodont zone: | middle/upper Palmatolepis gracilis expansa |
| Age range of interval: | 372.20000 - 358.90000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: upper Famennian Gonioclymenia Limestone; dated to the middle/upper Palmatolepis gracilis expansa conodont Zone sensu: Ziegler & Sandberg (1984), that is the Subzone of Bispathodus costatus (Bispathodus aculeatus aculeatus Zone) |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | wackestone |
| Secondary lithology: | packstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: ammonoid‐rich, grey‐to‐reddish crinoid wackestones/packstones | |
| Environment: | deep subtidal shelf |
| Geology comments: Famennian carbonate succession exposed here is predominantly hemipelagic, although in many places shows marked condensation; in the Famennian, heterocorals are represented by two genera, both these taxa inhabited relatively deep‐water, apparently oxygen-depleted environments | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
| Collection method comments: specimens were found in debris | |
