Also known as Locus 1 of Sudre (1975, 1979)

Where: Bechar region, Algeria (30.0° N, 4.0° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 20.5° N, 1.4° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: middle Member (Glib Zegdou Formation), Ypresian to Ypresian (56.0 - 41.3 Ma)

• Late early Eocene to lower Middle Eocene (Ypresian to basal Lutetian). Upper part of the detritic, charophyte-bearing formation as described by Sudre 1975. The exact correpondance between Sudre's original locus 1 and the level HGL10 is impossible to confirm, but the two sampling points are certainly very close if not equal.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; lenticular, intraclastic, red, yellow sandstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
