The specimen was found by surface prospecting northeastern outcrops of the Grès de Labarre levels, northeast of the Mas-d’Azil. - might wanna reword that. Grammatically correct but had to read it a couple of times to confirm....
It preserves only part of the mandibular corpus - is "mandibular corpus" same as "body of mandible"?
Can the Palaeoecology section be expanded at all? e.g. is it temperate/tropical/riparian/montane/forest/desert......
Sorry for taking so long to reply! I'll have to address these later, as I haven't got much time. All I can say right now is that there is no information on the palaeoenvironment of the Grès de Labarre.

Glad it's all good. Looking up the definition of the mandibular corpus, it looks like it's basically just the body of the mandible. I might be wrong, but the medical dictionary lists it as: "the heavy, U-shaped, horizontal portion of the mandible extending posteriorly to the angle where it is continuous with the ramus; it supports the lower teeth." Also, now I have time to address the other point. Would this be better? "The specimen was found in the northeastern outcrops of the Grès de Labarre levels, northeast of the Mas-d’Azil, by surface prospecting in the area."
