Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Isalo | Formation: | Isalo II | Member: | Lower |
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Unit is known as either the Makay Formation or "Isalo II"; basal part of unit. This formation is of uncertain age and is generally considered Ladinian or Carnian; Langer et al. (2000) support a Carnian age based upon palynology and their interpretation of the phylogenetic position of the rhynchosaur material; by contrast, Kammerer et al. (2010) consider a Ladinian age more likely | |||||
