Also known as IGM 183499
Where: Colombia (3.2° N, 75.2° W)
• Paleocoordinates: 4.0° N, 71.6° W (Wright 2013)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Baraya Member (Villavieja Formation), Laventan (13.8 - 11.0 Ma)
• A stratigraphic level just below the Fish Bed, Villavieja Formation, Honda Group
•
•Note: This collection had a Friasian age but this must be the Friasian sensu lato, that includes the Friasian sensu stricto, Mayoan and Laventan. The lower Villavieja formation (Baraya member) is considered of Laventan age now and the upper Villavieja formation is considered Laventan-Mayoan in age (Flynn et al., 1997).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: fluvial; red mudstone and red, yellow sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: Partial dorsal carapace with six movable bands, one semimovable, and 9 fixed bands from the pelvic shield
