| Jouar es-Souss, Bkassine, Jezzine (Azar coll) | Nel P., Azar D., et al (2007) | Amber found in three intervals in the upper part of the Grès du Liban. Joaur Es-Souss is found in the lower interval, located below the pisolitic interval. 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 transgression of sequence Ba3 of Clave | amber | 130 - 125.45 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous | |
