Also known as Nong Sang
Where: Nong Bua Lamphu, Thailand (16.9° N, 102.5° E: paleocoordinates 14.6° N, 111.0° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Sao Khua Formation (Khorat Group), Late/Upper Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)
• Sao Khua Formation, probably upper Barremian?, Lower Cretaceous. The formation was originally considered Jurassic in age, but it was later shown to be in the Early Cretaceous. Buffetaut and Suteethorn (1999) were the first to suggest an Early Cretaceous age based on the vertebrate fossils. Most recently, the age was constrained to the late Barremian based on non-marine bivalves (Tumpeesawan et al. 2010)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: "floodplain"; red claystone and sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by Paladej Srisuk in 1988
