Where: Hunedoara, Romania (45.5° N, 23.1° E: paleocoordinates 37.9° N, 19.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• Pui beds; customarily referred to the Sînpetru Formation, but it could represent a distinct stratigraphic unit, informally dubbed the ‘Bărbat Formation’ (see Csiki-Sava et al. 2016)

•Most of the Pui localities are from the middle-upper part of the Bărbat River succession and are likely to be latest early to early late Maastrichtian (see Csiki-Sava et al. 2016)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
