Perea, D., Ubilla, M. & Rojas, A. (2003): First report of theropods
from the Tacuarembó Formation (late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous), Uruguay.
Alcheringa, 27 (2): 79-83, 3 Abb.; Sydney
A late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous age for the Tacuarembó Formation is, as I
understand, provisional. The Tacuarembó Formation used to be considered
Middle Triassic-Early Jurassic, but was re-dated to a younger age by Perea
et al. (2001) based on the record of _Priohybodus_ from this formation. The
remains (teeth, spine) closely resembles those of the Late Jurassic-Early
Cretaceous hybodont _Priohybodus arambougi_, which is known from north
Africa and the Arabian pensinsula.
