VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=227 suggested=225.4 confidence=medium — High-precision U–Pb zircon geochronology gives the Caturrita Formation, the only unit yielding Unaysaurus, a maximum age of 225.42 ± 0.37 Ma and an early Norian assignment, so a start of 227 Ma (late Carnian) is older than the literature supports. The occurrence is consistently cited as ca. 225 Ma.
