| Wald Sanga (upper) | Montefeltro F. C., Langer M. C., et al (2010) | Rosario do Sul - Caturrita | Locality is from the upper part of the highstand system tract of the Santa Maria Sequence 2, Santa Maria Supersequence of the Rosario do Sul Group, representing the lower part of the Caturrita Formation of Norian age (see Langer et al. 2007; Montefeltro et al. 2010). Fossils are from a stratigraphically higher level than Hyperodapedon from the same locality. | conglomerate | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
| Wald Sanga, Huene Loc. 1 (10.5m) | Langer M. C. (2005) | Rosario do Sul - Santa Maria - Alemoa | Santa Maria 2 (upper half of Santa Maria Formation), from the so-called "Rhynchosaur Cenozone" or "Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone". The Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone has generally considered been late Carnian in age, but could extend into the early Norian. | siltstone | 237 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
| Wald Sanga, Huene Loc. 1 (5m) | Langer M. C. (2005) | Rosario do Sul - Santa Maria - Alemoa | Locality is from the Santa Maria Sequence 2, Santa Maria Supersequence of the Rosario do Sul Group, corresponding to the Alemoa Member of the Santa Maria Formation, or so-called "Rhynchosaur Cenozone" or "Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone"(see Langer et al. 2007). The Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone has generally considered been late Carnian in age, but could extend into the early Norian. | siltstone | 237 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
| Wald Sanga, Santa Maria (middle) | Huene F. v. (1936) | Rosario do Sul - Santa Maria - Alemoa | Santa Maria 2 (upper half of Santa Maria Formation), from the so-called "Rhynchosaur Cenozone" or "Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone". The Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone has generally considered been late Carnian in age, but could extend into the early Norian. Specimens come from approximately 11 metres above the base of the section at Wald Sanga (see Montefeltro et al. 2010: fig. 1) | mudstone | 237 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
