Where: Centro, Portugal (39.9° N, 8.6° W: paleocoordinates 33.8° N, 2.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Lourinhã Formation, Late/Upper Kimmeridgian to Late/Upper Kimmeridgian (155.7 - 145.0 Ma)

• = Camadas de Alcobaça, could also be from lowermost Bombarral Formation (= Grès superiores); Malafaia et al 2010 consider the site to be ?upper Kimmeridgian to Tithonian in age

•

• Previously assigned to Bombarral Formation. Lourinhã Fm is considered late Kimmeridgian-late Tithonian and it incorporates the Alcobaça Fm (Kimmeridgian) and the Bombarral Fm (also known as Grés Superiores; late Tithonian-early Berrisian). Taylor et al. 2013 suggested the Lourinhã Fm be subdivided into members, but Mateus et al. 2017 proposed a revised stratiraphy of the Luisitanian Basin. The Alcobaça Formation is Late Kimmeridigan and overlain by the Lourinha Formation. The Lourinhã Formation is made up of the Praia da Amoreira and Porto Novo (late Kimmeridgian) members, Praia Azul member (latest Kimmeridgian–earliest Tithonian) and the Assenta member (late Tithonian-earliest Berrisian). The Lourinha Formation is overlain by the Porto da Calada Formation (Berrisian).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
