• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Ictidosauria other zone, Caturrita Formation (Rosário do Sul Group), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)

•

•Caturrita was originally considered Carnian-Norian in age; however, recent recalibration of the Triassic timescale suggests a Norian age (e.g. Langer et al. 2010; Brusatte et al. 2010. Earth-Science Reviews 101:68-100)
