NMMNH locality 2671 (Triassic of the United States)

Also known as Redondavenator holotype site

Where: Quay County, New Mexico (35.1° N, 103.6° W: paleocoordinates 10.0° N, 43.2° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Red Peak Member (Redonda Formation), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)
