Where: Paraguay (25.6° S, 56.8° W: paleocoordinates 41.5° S, 30.8° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Terezina Formation, Wordian (266.9 - 264.3 Ma)
• Presence of Pinzonella suggests a position in the Teresina Formation (Guerrini et al., 2019). Teresina Formation assigned to Wordian by Rocha-Campos et al. (2019) on the basis of radiometric dating.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine - large; lithified, fine-grained sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
