Where: Gujarat, India (23.1° N, 73.3° E: paleocoordinates 22.1° S, 57.2° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Lameta Formation, Maastrichtian (72.1 - 66.0 Ma)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: estuary or bay; medium-grained, coarse, calcareous sandstone and pebbly, green, white conglomerate
•The conglomerate is followed by a 3-4 metre thick calcareous sandstone. In the lower part, the calcareous sandstone is medium-grained and has yielded a few dinosaur fossils including the teeth which form the subject of this paper. It grades up to a fine-grained calcareous sandstone. This lithounit is traversed by veins of cryptocrystalline silica."
•"medium- to coarse-grained indurated to friable sandstone" (Wilson et al., 2019)
Size class: mesofossils
