Basturs Poble (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as BP

Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.2° N, 1.0° W: paleocoordinates 34.3° N, 1.0° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Conques Formation (Tremp Group), Late/Upper Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• Upper part of the ‘lower red unit’, upper C31r (upper lower Maastrichtian).

•= Lower Red Garumnian, now Chron C29r (??)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coarse channel fill; bioturbated, paleosol/pedogenic, fine-grained, red sandstone and fine-grained sandstone

• "paleosoils in a floodplain environment"; meandering river channel
• facies F12B: "Mixed very fine- to coarse-grained sst, microcgl and cgl / Ochre and red / Lateral accretion surfaces, planar cross-bedding, current ripples / Purple, red and/or grey mottling, very bioturbated"

•"The lower layer is a palaeosol consisting of fine-grained sandstone with edaphic carbonate nodules and root bioturbation (mottling). The upper layer is also composed of fine-grained sandstone, but it was produced by a low-energy mass transport that reworked the upper part of the palaeosoil and the bones contained at the top of the latter."

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: trace
