Where: Hunedoara, Romania (45.5° N, 23.1° E: paleocoordinates 37.9° N, 19.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• Customarily referred to the Sînpetru Formation, but it could represent a distinct stratigraphic unit, informally dubbed the ‘Bărbat Formation’ (see Csiki-Sava et al. 2016)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; micaceous, gray, green, silty mudstone

• "green-greyish, slightly variegated micaceous silty mudstones"
