Road from Haccourt to Eben-Emael | Geys J. (1983) | Gulpen - Zeven Wegen | Originally "chalk with Magas pumilus, horizon III or IV (sensu W. M. FELDER, 1974), lower part of Upper Gulpen Chalk, Lower Maastrichtian." According to Jagt et al. 2018: "Geys (1983) erred when he thought that it had come from the Vijlen or Lixhe members (Gulpen Formation). After re-examining the holotype, Jagt (2000a) concluded that it would rather have originated from the Zeven Wegen Member, and thus be of late Campanian age. This observation is now corroborated on the basis of material colle | chalk | 83.5 - 70.6 Ma Late/Upper Cretaceous |
