Also known as Panphagia type
Where: San Juan, Argentina (30.1° S, 67.9° W: paleocoordinates 46.8° S, 33.3° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Scaphonyx-Exaeretodon-Herrerasaurus other zone, La Peña Member (Ischigualasto Formation), Carnian (237.0 - 228.0 Ma)
• 40 m above base of formation; approx same level as ash dated at 228.3 Ma; upper part of member, lower portion of Panphagia type, lower portion of Scaphonyx-Exaeretodon-Herrerasaurus biozone; late Carnian
•Wallace et al. 2019: The new specimen was found at the Valle Pintado locality, which is located in the upper lev- els of the La Peña Member and in the lower portion of the Scaphonyx-Exaeretodon-Herrera- saurus biozone. The material was found in a fossiliferous layer 40 m above the base of the Formation. Interlayered volcanic ash layers above the base and below the top of the formation provide chronostratigraphic control and yielded ages of 231.4 ± 0.3 Ma and 225.9 ± 0.9 Ma [55,56].
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: "floodplain"; fine-grained, concretionary, gray, green, calcareous sandstone and conglomerate
Size class: macrofossils
Collected in 2006
Collection methods: quarrying, surface (in situ),
• collected during 2006 field season, Museo de Ciencias Naturales of San Juan
•Wallace et al. 2019: (PVSJ 882) was found in 2006 by RNM during a field trip to the Ischigualasto Formation carried out by the Instituto y Museo de Ciencias Naturales of the Universidad Nacional de San Juan.
