Ambondro mahabo [SEP] Discovery and context
"Ambondro mahabo" was described by a team led by John Flynn in a 1999 paper in "Nature". The scientific name derives from the village of Ambondromahabo, close to which the fossil was found. It is known from the Bathonian (middle Jurassic, about 167 million years ago) of the Mahajanga Basin in northwestern Madagascar, in the Isalo III unit, the youngest of the three rock layers that make up the Isalo "Group". This unit has also yielded crocodyliform and plesiosaur teeth and remains of the sauropod "Lapparentosaurus".
