Wadi Moghra, Ägypten

Fundort:	Wadi Moghra, Ägypten, , Ägypten
Taxon:	Dryopithecus mogharensis aus der Familie Hominidae
Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle:
Macrofossils, Type section of formation is "about 230 m" (Morlo et al. 2007), "The fluviatile sands alternate with near-shore marine deposits comprised of sands and shales... Sands are generally fine to medium-grained, fairly well-sorted, and primarily quartzose in composition. Current structures such as cross-lamination and ripples are frequent as are pebble-sized clasts of both quartz and flint. Mud clasts line paleoerosion surfaces (channel scours), which are commonly ferruginous, associated with petrified wood, and are the source of the fossil vertebrates." (Morlo et al. 2007)
