Where: Hungary (47.0° N, 17.0° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 26.6° N, 32.1° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Kardosret Formation, Hettangian (201.4 - 199.5 Ma)

• The Kardosret Formation overlies the Dachstein Formation of the Upper Triassic (Rhaetian) age, formed by loferitic cycles, megalodonts and foraminifers Triasina.

• yellowish-grey or pinkish-reddish micritic limestones, strongly oncoidal (3-4, rarely 5-6 in diameter, irregular shape)
