Also known as type locality of Contritosaurus simus; Vetluga River
Where: Nizhnii Novgorod, Russian Federation (57.1° N, 45.2° E: paleocoordinates 31.5° N, 36.8° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Induan (252.2 - 251.2 Ma)
• " [...] Lower Triassic, Base of Vetluga Series." (Ivakhnenko, 1974). The Vetlugian corresponds to the Lower Triassic and, consequently, the base of the Vetlugian corresponds to the Induan Stage of the international geologic time scale. Ivakhnenko (2008, p.53) also assigns this locality to the Induan.
