Barranc de Torrebilles-4 (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as TB4

Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.2° N, 1.0° E: paleocoordinates 34.2° N, 0.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Conques Formation (Tremp Group), Early/Lower Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• Uppermost lower red unit of the Tremp Formation, only 35m beneath the Vallcebre Limestones and laterally equivalent strata unit

•The Conques Formation is equivalent to the "lower Red Garumen" facies. The Conques Formation was previously assigned a late maastrichtian age (Sellés and Villa 2015; Villa et al. 2015) Biostratigraphy and Sr stable isotope geochemistry suggest that the La Posa and Conques Formation are entirely early Maastrichtian, lying within chron C31r (see Caus et al. 2016; Oms et al. 2016; Fondevilla et al. 2016; Fondevilla et al. 2019).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial; fine-grained, brown sandstone

• Fluvial, meandering river environment
• Fine-grained brownish sandstone body; red and purple mottling.

•It is interbedded with reddish siltstones, medium- and coarse-grained sandstones and microconglomerates.

Size class: macrofossils
