Forchiar Creek, Enemonzo (Triassic of Italy)

Also known as Eudimorphodon rosenfeldi holotype site

Where: Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy (46.4° N, 12.9° E: paleocoordinates 26.3° N, 16.2° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Dolomia di Forni Formation, Alaunian (215.6 - 212.0 Ma)

• "Lower part of the Dolomia di Forni Formation, H. hogarti Zone - H. macer Zone, Alaunian 2-3, Middle Norian"

•Dolmomia di Forni "spans the Alaunian 2 - Sevatian 1 interval"; middle-late Norian (Dalla Vecchia 2006)

Environment/lithology: basinal (); black dolomite

• "black dolostone"

•"The Dolomia di Forni is composed mainly of dark, often cherty, well-bedded dolostone that is frequently thinly laminated and sometimes slumped. Thicker laminae are graded and represent distal turbidites...the basinal facies preserving the tetrapod remains are composed mainly of distal turbidites and carbonate mud deposited by fallout"

Size classes: macrofossils, microfossils

Collected by Corrado Rosenfeld in 1986

Collection methods: surface (float),

• "Preserved on a slab of dolostone which split into two parts revealing the presence of a fossilised skeleton. The rocky fragment was exposed in the debris at the base of a rocky wall" [Refers to the pterosaur specimen, other specimens were also found in the same debris pile]
