Where: Bahia, Brazil (12.9° S, 38.5° W: paleocoordinates 11.6° S, 5.3° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Ilhas Group, Late/Upper Hauterivian to Late/Upper Hauterivian (136.4 - 125.5 Ma)
• Lower Cretaceous Recôncavo Basin, Bahia Supergroup, Ilhas Group (Late Hauterivian–Early Barremian)
•
•"no exact stratigraphic precedence was recorded by Mawson. Rocks from the Recôncavo Basin, Bahia Supergroup, crop out in those localities. The formations from which the material could have come have all been dated as Lower Cretaceous, based on microfossils (Viana et al., 1971)." (Rodrigues & Kellner 2010)
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: estuary or bay; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
