Also known as Cerro Condor Norte

Where: Chubut, Argentina (43.4° S, 69.2° W: paleocoordinates 41.3° S, 28.1° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Cañadón Asfalto Formation (Sierra de Olte Group), Middle Toarcian (182.0 - 175.6 Ma)

• lower third of formation, "perhaps a little lower" than the Cerro Cóndor locality. Sierra de Olte Group = Lonco Tapial Group

•

•U-Pb dates provided by Pol et al. (2020)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: wet floodplain; calcareous tuff and fine-grained, carbonaceous sandstone

• "the setting corresponds to that of a very wet floodplain"
• "a finely layered calcareous tuff, and is part of a sedimentary package formed by very fine deposits, beds containing carbonized plant remains, and fine sands"

Size class: macrofossils
