| Unknown locality, between Candelaria and Vera Cruz | Abdala F., Sa-Teixeira A. M. (2004) | Rosario do Sul - Santa Maria | From an unknown horizon in the Santa Maria Formation. The synapsid Luangwa is known from Anisian age outcrops in Africa (Ntawere Formation), and Abdala & Sa-Teixeira suggest that this might indicate an Anisian age for at least part of the Santa Maria Formation (usually considered Ladinian-Norian in age), but this remains uncertain | not reported | 247.2 - 237 Ma Triassic |
