Fossil Atlas formation guide
Echkar Formation records in Fossil Atlas currently connect to Suchomimus, Spinosaurus. The page maps selected modern fossil discovery records from Agadez Region, Niger; it is not a complete ancient ecosystem reconstruction.
Region
A mid-Cretaceous Niger hotspot context for the Iullemmeden Basin and nearby Saharan dinosaur records. Fossil Atlas uses this page to group Echkar-region records with related Niger spinosaurid context, including the source-backed Suchomimus record from the Elrhaz Formation.
Mapped records
Modern fossil discovery map: pins show where selected fossil and specimen records were found today, not ancient Earth positions.
