• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

•Most of the Pui localities are from the middle-upper part of the Bărbat River succession and are likely to be latest early to early late Maastrichtian (see Csiki-Sava et al. 2016)
