[1] In 1994, additional specimens of Marmoretta were described from the Kilmaluag Formation (previously known as the Ostracod Limestones) of the Great Estuarine Group in Skye.
They confirm the original description and reconstruction, and provide additional support for position of Marmoretta as the sister taxon of Lepidosauria.
[2] Both localities dates to the Late Bathonian stage of the Middle Jurassic period, about 166.2-164.7 million years ago.
The inclusion of Sophineta displaced the relictual Middle Jurassic Marmoretta and gave the origin of Lepidosauria much older age.
