Also known as Valioara; Vălioara; Valiora; Pârâul Ogradiilor, Kadic-Ogradelor

Where: Hunedoara, Romania (45.6° N, 22.8° E: paleocoordinates 32.7° N, 21.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Middle Member (Densuş-Ciula Formation), Early/Lower Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• Close to the base of the Densuș-Ciula succession, in the basal part of the ‘middle member’, and are thus most probably of earliest to early Maastrichtian in age (Csiki-Sava et al., 2016). This age assessment is congruent with the 71.3+/-1.6 Ma K-Ar radiometric age reported by Bojar et al. (2011) from a tuff layer situated slightly to the west (Botfalvai et al. 2021)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; lithology not reported

Size classes: macrofossils, microfossils
