Presa de San Antonio (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as Talarn, Presa de Sant Antoni, Point 1, Sant Antoni-2, Presa de Tremp

Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.2° N, 0.9° E: paleocoordinates 34.2° N, 0.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• "level b"; early part of late Maastrichtian, "base of continental sedimentation"

•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: terrestrial; red conglomerate and sandstone

• "a reddish conglomerate"; "yellowish red conglomerates and sandstones"

Size class: macrofossils
