Where: Uvalde County, Texas (29.2° N, 100.1° W: paleocoordinates 34.9° N, 73.5° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Anacacho Limestone Formation, Early/Lower Campanian to Early/Lower Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)
• Probably Anacacho limestone. Swezey and Sullivan (2004) correlate the Anacacho Ls to the Baculites sp. (weak flank ribs), Baculites sp. (smooth) zone, which is late upper Campanian in Gradstein et al., 2004, through the Baculites maclearni zone, which is middle Campanian in Gradstein et al., 2004.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: limestone
Size class: macrofossils
