Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Sables du Castrais | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Within the Sables du Castrais Formation at Issel, several fossiliferous levels have produced vertebrate remains with different ages spanning the upper Lutetian–upper Bartonian interval (Marandat, 1987). Contrary to previous propositions of a Bartonian age, Godinot et al. (2018) suggested that the locality of Issel could be either Ypresian–Lutetian or Lutetian, and view the holotype mandible of Dentaneosuchus crassiproratus from Issel as coming from a level situated below the base of the Lutetian (Martin et al. 2023) | |||||
