VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=196 suggested=186 confidence=medium — The first deposition-age radiometric date from the Kayenta Formation, the unit that yields all Dilophosaurus wetherilli material, is 183.7 +/- 2.7 Ma, so an onset of 196 Ma is roughly 10 Myr too old; the upper bound of the dated interval (~186 Ma) is what current literature supports.

VERIFY:geological_stage: stored=sinemurian suggested=pliensbachian confidence=high — Marsh & Rowe (2020) assign the Dilophosaurus-bearing 'middle third' of the Kayenta Formation to the Pliensbachian on the basis of a U-Pb detrital zircon date of 183.7 +/- 2.7 Ma, and Marsh et al. (2014) explicitly state this shifts the formation's age designation from Sinemurian-Pliensbachian to Pliensbachian-Toarcian.
