| "183 m below the contact of the Qasr el Sagha and Jebel Qatrani formations... This horizon was recently placed in the lowermost (Umm Rigl) Member of the Qasr el Sagha Formation, but renewed work indicates that these fossiliferous alluvial sediments are lithologically distinctive and best retained in the Birket Qarun Formation"; according to Seiffert et al. 2005 the fossilferous beds are "229 m below Quarry L-41," "about 5 to 15 cm thick," and based on new paleomagnetic data within C17n.1n and "earliest Priabonian" | "bioclastic ironstone conglomerate" (Seiffert et al. 2003) or "ironstone-rich fining upward sequences of medium-to-fine grained sands and muds" | additional taxa that are not primates and therefore not worth describing include "proboscideans, hyracoids, herodotiines, ptolemaiids, creodonts, anomaluroid and hystricognathous rodents, chiropterans, and insectivores" (Seiffert et al. 2005) | ||
