Paimogo nest site (Jurassic to of Portugal)

Also known as Forte Pai Mogo, Forte de Paimogo

Where: Centro, Portugal (39.3° N, 9.3° W: paleocoordinates 33.5° N, 1.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Praia da Amoreira-Porto Novo Member (Lourinhã Formation), Late/Upper Kimmeridgian to Late/Upper Kimmeridgian (155.7 - 145.0 Ma)

• originally assigned to the Porto Novo Member or subunit; probably basal Tithonian, Ti1

•Mateus et al. 2017: The biostratigraphy based in a combination of forams, ostracods and dinocysts presented by Taylor et al. (2013) indicates for the two lower shelly levels a latest Kimmeridgian to earliest Tithonian age (tethyan ammonites Beckeri and Hybonotum Zones).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: wet floodplain; green, red, argillaceous, sandy siltstone

• Mateus et al. 2017: Most of the unit was deposited by meandering fluvial systems flowing in a low-lying coastal plain, connected with transitional systems like deltas, sandy bay shorelines and brackish lagoons (Fürsich, 1981; Werner, 1986; Taylor et al., 2013).
• "green to red clayey silts, sandy"

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: replaced with calcite
