Where: Chiapas, Mexico (16.6° N, 93.3° W: paleocoordinates 14.6° N, 62.5° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Cintalapa Formation (Sierra Madre Group), Early/Lower Cenomanian (99.6 - 93.5 Ma)

• Assignment to Sierra Madre based on geographic location; assignment on geologic criteria questioned by authors. Recently, Alvarado-Ortega et al. (2009) found that the fishes found at El Chango (and El Espinal) indicate a Cenomanian age. The presence of the ammonite Graysonites indicate an early Cenomanian age (Moreno-Bedmar et al. 2014).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; lithified dolomite

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying

• Repository: IHNFG
