Where: Toliara, Madagascar (22.2° S, 45.0° E: paleocoordinates 43.9° S, 30.6° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Lower Member (Isalo II Formation), Ladinian to Ladinian (242.0 - 228.0 Ma)

• Unit is known as either the Makay Formation or "Isalo II"; basal part of unit. This formation is of uncertain age and is generally considered Ladinian or Carnian; Langer et al. (2000) support a Carnian age based upon palynology and their interpretation of the phylogenetic position of the rhynchosaur material; by contrast, Kammerer et al. (2010) consider a Ladinian age more likely

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: mechanical,

• UA: Universit d’Antananarivo, Antananarivo, Madagascaro
