Santa Ana, Mossoró | Smith A. B., Bengtson P. (1991) | Jandaíra | In Brazil the species occurs in the Jandaira Formation, which ranges onshore from Turonian to approximately lower Campanian. Beurlen (1967a) noted that it is stratigraphically restricted to the upper part of this formation. It is thus probably Santonian and/or Campanian. | "limestone" | 86.3 - 70.6 Ma Late/Upper Cretaceous |
