VERIFY:period_end_mya: stored=206 suggested=213 confidence=high — Magnetochronology of the Los Colorados Formation, the unit yielding Lessemsaurus, constrains it to 227-213 Ma and shows it is entirely Norian with no Rhaetian strata, ending more than 11 Myr before the Jurassic. A stored end age of 206 Ma extends the taxon into the Rhaetian, which current dating does not support; 213 Ma is the youngest age supported.
