VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=72.1 suggested=69 confidence=medium — The describing paper restricts the taxon to the upper Maastrichtian Moreno Formation, stating that <cite index="22-2,22-3">the material comes from the upper Maastrichtian Moreno Formation of central California and that Augustynolophus is the second described genus of North American late Maastrichtian hadrosaurids</cite>; a stored start of 72.1 Ma corresponds to the base of the whole Maastrichtian and is materially older than the late-Maastrichtian interval the literature supports (independent summaries place the specimens near 68 Ma).
