Where: Uruguay (32.4° S, 57.6° W: paleocoordinates 35.4° S, 44.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Queguay Formation, Maastrichtian (72.1 - 66.0 Ma)

• Some papers give a Paleogene age, but Late Cretaceous is more likely based on the abundance of sauropod eggshells. Veroslavsky et al. (2019) dated carbonates in the Queguay Formation at around 72 Ma.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: pond; lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Repository: Paleontological Collection of the Facultad de Ciencias, Montevideo, Uruguay (FCDPI)
