Where: Mendoza, Argentina (32.9° S, 69.0° W: paleocoordinates 44.3° S, 32.1° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Cacheuta Formation, Carnian to Carnian (237.0 - 208.5 Ma)

• Originally considered as Middle-Late Triassic in age, subsequent U-Pb dating of the underlying Potrerillos Formation by Spalletti et al. (2008, Geologica Acta 6:267-283) suggests a Carnian-Norian age for the Cacheuta Formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils
