VERIFY:geological_stage: stored=tithonian suggested=kimmeridgian-tithonian confidence=medium — The redescription of the lectotype gives its horizon as the Sobral Member, Lourinhã Formation, late Kimmeridgian–early Tithonian, so restricting the taxon to the Tithonian alone omits the Kimmeridgian portion of its documented range.

VERIFY:period_end_mya: stored=145 suggested=150 confidence=medium — Biostratigraphic data place the Lourinhã Formation as late Kimmeridgian to earliest early Tithonian, so the unit does not extend to the end of the Tithonian (145 Mya); a youngest age of about 150 Mya is what current stratigraphy supports.
