Flag Canyon, 1 mile NNE Crystal Forest (PFV 191) (Triassic of the United States)

Also known as Trilophosaurus dornorum holotype site

Where: Arizona (34.9° N, 109.8° W: paleocoordinates 10.5° N, 48.3° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Sonsela Member (Chinle Formation), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)

• "PFV 191 is within the Jim Camp Wash beds of the Sonsela Member and is located

•approximately 20 meters above the top of the Blue Mesa Member...The exact age of these beds cannot be currently unequivocally constrained, but the presence of the aetosaur Paratypothorax and the phytosaur Pseudopalatus at lower horizons in the nearby Crystal Forest (PFV 173) and Mountain Lion Mesa (PFV 295), respectively, suggests a Norian age"

•Kent et al. 2019: Sonsela member falls between magneto zones PF5n and PF4n (roughly 216.16–213.44Ma)

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; gray, sandy mudstone

• "PEFO 31165 occurred as float from a series of low, gray, sandy mudstone hills"

Size class: macrofossils
