Also known as Castejón de Sobrarbe-41 fossil site (CS-41)
Where: Huesca, Spain (42.3° N, 0.1° E: paleocoordinates 39.1° N, 2.9° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Sobrarbe Formation, Lutetian (47.8 - 41.3 Ma)
• middle Lutetian
•The CS-41 fossiliferous level is in the uppermost part of the Sobrarbe Formation and has been correlated with nearby sections dated by magnetostratigraphy and benthic foraminifera21, placing CS-41 within the C19r chron and biozone SBZ15 (middle Lutetian, middle Eocene) and making these the oldest sirenian remains in western Europe.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: deltaic; mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
