Also known as Rabacal, Zambujal
Where: Portugal (40.1° N, 8.5° W: paleocoordinates 31.0° N, 4.1° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: S. Gião Formation, Tenuicostatum (183.0 - 182.0 Ma)
• Nannirhynchia pygmaea occurs in the Polymorphum Zone [= Tenuicostatum Zone] of the S. Gio Formation [= Margas calcarias de S. Giao (Barbosa et al. 1988)]. Duarte & Soares (2002) subdivided this formation into five members, of which according to Soares et al. (2007), the member "marly limestones with Leptaena fauna" [= Bed 40c (Mouterde et al. 1964–65) = MST1 (Duarte 1995, 1997)], yielded N. pygmaea.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: offshore ramp; lithified marl
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression, replaced with pyrite
