Also known as Kalsa-ri, Galsari; Pukyongosaurus millenniumi type
Where: Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea (34.9° N, 127.8° E: paleocoordinates 42.8° N, 126.1° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Hasandong Formation (Shindong Group), Late/Upper Aptian to Late/Upper Aptian (122.5 - 109.0 Ma)
• Previously, a Hauterivian-Barremian age for the Hasandong Formation was proposed, based on palynomorph assemblages (Choi, 1985; Choi, 1989; Yi et al. 1994). However, molluscan faunas suggest and Aptian-Albian age (Yang 1982) and Lee et al. 2018 SHRIMP and U-pb analyses provided a maximum depositional age of approximately 118+/-2.6Ma. The youngest detrital zircon ages were approximately 109Ma (Lee et al. 2010)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: wet floodplain; lithified, paleosol/pedogenic, calcareous mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: trace
Collected in 1998–2000
