Also known as Cerro Largo Localities

Where: Cerro Largo, Uruguay (32.3° S, 54.1° W: paleocoordinates 40.2° S, 15.7° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Buena Vista Formation, Late/Upper Triassic (237.0 - 201.4 Ma)

• The fossils of the collection are distributed within an interval of about 20 m. (see measured section in text-fig. in Pineiro et al., 2007).

•

•Although arguments have been made for a Permian age for this locality, an Early Triassic date seems more likely (see discussion in Dias-da-Silva et al. 2006).

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial; muddy, sandy siliciclastic sediments and intraclastic conglomerate

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: FC-DPV = Departamento de Paleontologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Montevideo, Uruguay
