Kfar Selouane, Lebanese amber (Azar coll) | Kirejtshuk A. G., Azar D. (2013) | Amber found in three intervals in the upper part of the Grès du Liban. Kfar Selouan is found in the middle interval, located between the “Banc de Mrejatt” above and a pisolitic interval below. The "Banc de Mrejatt" includes one biostratigraphically significant benthic foraminifer: Eopalorbitolina transiens (Cherchi and Schroeder, 1999), which is a zonal marker of the Lower to Upper Barremian transition according to Schroeder et al. (2010). Accordingly the “Banc de Mrejatt” is correlated to the t | amber | 130 - 125.45 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous |
