Where: Neuquén, Argentina (39.6° S, 69.4° W: paleocoordinates 43.7° S, 39.4° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Cullín Grande Member (Lohan Cura Formation), Early/Lower Albian (112.0 - 109.0 Ma)
• The Cullín Grande Member is the upper part of the Lohan Cura Formation
•
• the Cullín Grande Member is regarded as early Albian in age (Leanza and Hugo, 1995; Leanza et al., 1997, 2001) based on its fossil content (at the type-locality) and the strati- graphic correlations with the Rayoso Formation of the center of the Neuquén Basin (Leanza, 2002).
