Also known as F 1/89

Where: Ash Shamaliyah, Sudan (16.7° N, 31.1° E: paleocoordinates 3.8° S, 23.9° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Wadi Milk Formation, Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; coarse-grained sandstone and fine-grained siltstone

• "The Wadi Milk Formation is dominated by sediments of braided rivers and sandy braided-meandering river systems...The sedimentary sequence is interpreted as deposits of meandering rivers with dominating flood plain and lacustrine environments, minor fluviatile intercalation and rare paleosols."
• "fine grained siltsones, sandstones, and corase cross-bedded sandstones"

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
