Also known as Autunois

Where: Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France (46.9° N, 4.4° E: paleocoordinates 11.7° N, 16.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Grès d'Antully Formation, Anisian to Anisian (247.2 - 237.0 Ma)

• layers grouped informally as the "Grès inférieurs" (lower sandstones). Fossils occur in beds 4 and 6; the "lower sandstones" comprise beds 1-7 within the quarry sequence. These beds are in turn correlated with the middle and upper Muschelkalk.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lagoonal; green, argillaceous sandstone and green, sandy claystone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression, trace

Collected by G. Demathieu, L. Courel, J. de la Comble in 1962–1963

Collection methods: quarrying, surface (in situ),

• Tracks of Rotodactylus, Anchisauripus, Coelurosaurichnus, and Sphingopus are very common, but no tallies are given. Many hundreds of tracks are present at the quarry.
