Where: Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (29.7° S, 52.8° W: paleocoordinates 36.7° S, 14.9° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Ictidosauria other zone, Caturrita Formation (Rosario do Sul Group), Norian (221.5 - 205.6 Ma)

• Locality is from the upper part of the highstand system tract of the Santa Maria Sequence 2, Santa Maria Supersequence of the Rosario do Sul Group, representing the lower part of the Caturrita Formation of Norian age (see Langer et al. 2007). Ictidosauria or Mammaliamorpha Assemblage Zone (= Jachaleria Interval)

•

•Caturrita was originally considered Carnian-Norian in age; however, recent recalibration of the Triassic timescale suggests a Norian age (e.g. Langer et al. 2010; Brusatte et al. 2010. Earth-Science Reviews 101:68-100)
