Where: Malleco, Chile (38.7° S, 71.2° W: paleocoordinates 39.2° S, 67.5° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Rio Pedregoso Member (Cura-Mallin Formation), Serravallian (13.8 - 11.6 Ma)

• Text comments only state that the fossil comes from the upper member. Figure 1 describes such member as the Rio Pedregoso Member. The detailed stratigraphy of the area, which represents a fluvio-lacustrine environment, has been provided by Suarez and Emparan (1988, 1995).

•However, the fossil-bearing sections of Piedra Parada, Puente Tucapel, and Cerro Solarzano et al., 2019: Rucañanco probably have ages close to 12.8–11.64 Ma (Serravallian; Fig. 2), because the available detrital zircons maximum ages could be interpreted as near-sedimentation ages.

•Pedroza et al. 2017 proposed a new stratigraphic scheme that would move Cura-Mallin to group level, Rio Pedregoso to Formation level, and as a result this locality would fall under the Rucañanco member, but this scheme has yet to reviewed comprehensively.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution
