E., Kundrat M., et al (2012) | Allen | Other fossils collected from the same horizon and locality include indeterminate fishes (isolated vertebrae and scales), fragmentary chelid turtle shells, and elasmosaurid plesiosaur remains (isolated vertebrae and the articular portion of a lower jaw), indicating a nearshore marine depositional environment. [The lack of a mention of fossil eggs suggests these remains are not from 'egg level 5' (collection:96070)] | not reported | 83.5 - 66 Ma Late/Upper Cretaceous |
