Geography
| Country: | Romania | State/province: | Hunedoara |
| Coordinates: | 45.6° North, 22.8° East (view map) | ||
| Paleocoordinates: | 32.7° North, 21.0° East | ||
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark | ||
| Geographic resolution: | small collection |
Time
| Period: | Cretaceous | Epoch: | Late/Upper Cretaceous |
| Stage: | Maastrichtian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cretaceous 8 |
| Key time interval: | Early/Lower Maastrichtian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 72.10000 - 66.00000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Densuş-Ciula | Member: | Middle | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Close to the base of the Densuș-Ciula succession, in the basal part of the ‘middle member’, and are thus most probably of earliest to early Maastrichtian in age (Csiki-Sava et al., 2016). This age assessment is congruent with the 71.3+/-1.6 Ma K-Ar radiometric age reported by Bojar et al. (2011) from a tuff layer situated slightly to the west (Botfalvai et al. 2021) | |||||
