Also known as Ichthyovenator type

Where: Savannakhet, Laos (16.3° N, 105.7° E: paleocoordinates 16.5° N, 115.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Grès supérieurs Formation, Aptian (125.0 - 113.0 Ma)

• The “Grès supérieurs” Formation is considered here the lateral equivalent of the Khok Kruat and Phu Pan formations in neighbouring Thailand and is probably late Barremian to early Cenomanian in age (Buffetaut 1991; Allain et al. 1999; Sha 2007; Racey and Goodall 2009). The non-marine Cretaceous bivalve Trigonioides kobayashi–Plicatounio suzuki assemblage (Hoffet 1937) which is the only known assemblage recovered in Tang Vay area suggests that Ichthyovenator is Aptian in age (Allain et al. 1999; Sha 2007).
