Also known as IGM 183862

Where: Colombia (3.3° N, 75.2° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 4.0° N, 71.5° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Baraya Member (Villavieja Formation), Laventan (13.8 - 11.0 Ma)

• From stratigraphic column

•

•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; gray, green mudstone and sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: "isolated scutes, partial maxilla with two teeth, and miscellaneous postcranial bones"
