Also known as Canafistula 01

Where: Sergipe, Brazil (10.3° S, 36.8° W: paleocoordinates 7.7° S, 3.6° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Feliz Deserto Formation, Berriasian to Berriasian (145.0 - 132.9 Ma)

• three fossiliferous layers

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
