Where: Chubut, Argentina (44.0° S, 69.5° W: paleocoordinates 43.7° S, 26.8° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Cerro Carnerero Formation, Pliensbachian to Pliensbachian (190.8 - 182.0 Ma)
• fossiliferous beds rest on Liassic beds with Harpoceras subplanatum, and below the Middle-Upper Jurassic Porphyritic Series. Called the "Cerro Carnerero" beds, which "include the Bajocian in their base and may extend into the Callovian". Rauhut (2003) assigned to late Toarcian-early Aalenian interval and Rauhut (2008) assigned the Cerro Carnerero to Toarcian–Bajocian. The age has been recently refined by Pol et al. (2020) to Pliensbachian-early Toarcian
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; sandy tuff and gray, blue claystone
Size classes: macrofossils, microfossils
