Where: Tamaulipas, Mexico (26.6° N, 99.5° W: paleocoordinates 26.6° N, 99.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: La Boca Formation (Huizachal Group), Pliensbachian (190.8 - 182.7 Ma)

• lower part of the La Boca Formation; originally dated as Middle Jurassic, but U-Pb isotopic data from zircon in a volcaniclastic rock from the lowest part of the formation yields an age of 189 plus/minus 0.2 Ma. The fossil-bearing sedimentary rocks are above this unit and conformable with it (see Montellano et al. 2008).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "floodplain"; lithology not reported

Size class: mesofossils

Collection methods: IGM: Instituto de Geologia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico
