Where: Toliara, Madagascar (22.2° S, 45.0° E: paleocoordinates 43.9° S, 30.6° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Isalo II Formation (Isalo Group), Ladinian to Ladinian (242.0 - 228.0 Ma)
• Unit is known as either the Makay Formation or "Isalo II". This formation is of uncertain age and is generally considered Ladinian or Carnian; Langer et al. support a Carnian age based upon palynology and their interpretation of the phylogenetic position of the rhynchosaur material.
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
