Also known as Pont d'Orrit

Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.3° N, 0.7° E: paleocoordinates 34.3° N, 0.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

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

• "the lowermost strata of the gray unit of the Tremp Formation" (La Posa Fm.) - shown as in the "lower red unit" (Conques Fm.) in Selles et al., 2014 P. trempii paper

•

•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).
