Kuha (2016:128) suggests that Chronica brevis was written before 1343 CE. Extensa was written later (between 1344 and 1351/2 according to wikipedia) and differed from Chronica brevis in that it was a monumental work drawing extensively on both local documents and the universal chronicle, Satirica Ystoria, by Paulinus Minorita ( Kuha, 2016:129). Wikipedia, citing von den Bricken (2000) in Friedman and Figg (2013), states that the impetus for Paolino to write an expanded version of his Epithoma, which resulted in the Compendium and Satirica, was his meeting with Marino Sanudo [the Elder] and his review of Sanudo's Liber secretorum, which resulted in a correspondence between the two. Guidoboni and Comastri (2005) suggest that Dandolo used Marino Sanudo the Elder [perhaps through the intermediary of Paulinus Minorita] and Anselm of Gembloux as sources for an earthquake on 13 November 1114 CE, and mistakenly separated their accounts into two different earthquakes - when in fact both descriptions by Dandolo refer to the same 13 November 1114 CE earthquake.
