VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=1.6 suggested=1.2 confidence=medium — Descriptive literature following Martinez et al. (2011, Science) consistently gives a total length of about 1.2 m and a mass of about 5 kg for Eodromaeus across the five known specimens; no published estimate supports an upper bound of 1.6 m.

VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=233 suggested=231.4 confidence=medium — Radioisotopically dated horizons near the base and top of the Ischigualasto Formation bracket the entire unit between ~231.4 and ~225.9 Ma, so a 233 Ma start predates the formation that yields all Eodromaeus material. The Carnian stage assignment itself remains supported.
