Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Customarily referred to the Sînpetru Formation, but it could represent a distinct stratigraphic unit, informally dubbed the ‘Bărbat Formation’ (see Csiki-Sava et al. 2016)
Most of the Pui localities are from the middle-upper part of the Bărbat River succession and are likely to be latest early to early late Maastrichtian (see Csiki-Sava et al. 2016) | |||||
