Map location/coordinates reference: Location based on written descriptions of site as occurring along beachfront in Kebibat area of Rabat [Marçais, J. (1934). Découverte de restes humains fossiles dans les grès quaternaires de Rabat. L'Anthropologie, 44(6), 579-583.
] and a drawing of the site in [Neuville, R., & Ruhlmann, A. (1942). L'âge de l'Homme fossile de Rabat. Mémoires de la Société des Sciences Naturelles du Maroc, 3(1), 74-88.
]. Location is in the center of ~0.25km of beachfront outcrops where the locality might occur. The location published on Wikimapia does not conform to the drawing in Neuville & Ruhlmann (1942), so the later is used.
