• Condorraptor

  Dates the interval overlying the uppermost basalt flow at Cerro Cóndor, which holds this taxon, as Aalenian to probably Bajocian, with a latest Toarcian age not precluded near the basalt.

• Eoabelisaurus

  Dates the interval overlying the uppermost basalt flow at Cerro Cóndor, which holds this taxon, as Aalenian to probably Bajocian, with a latest Toarcian age not precluded near the basalt.

• Manidens

  Places the Queso Rallado assemblage, including this taxon, in the lowermost Cañadón Asfalto Formation or beds transitional with the Lonco Trapial, and dates those strata middle-late Toarcian.

• Patagosaurus

  Dates the interval overlying the uppermost basalt flow at Cerro Cóndor, which holds this taxon, as Aalenian to probably Bajocian, with a latest Toarcian age not precluded near the basalt.

• Piatnitzkysaurus

  Dates the interval overlying the uppermost basalt flow at Cerro Cóndor, which holds this taxon, as Aalenian to probably Bajocian, with a latest Toarcian age not precluded near the basalt.

• Tehuelchesaurus

  Places Tehuelchesaurus in the "middle lacustrine section" of the formation, citing Rich and colleagues (1999) and Carballido and colleagues (2011).

• Volkheimeria

  Dates the interval overlying the uppermost basalt flow at Cerro Cóndor, which holds this taxon, as Aalenian to probably Bajocian, with a latest Toarcian age not precluded near the basalt.
