Also known as Perauba-Figuerola
Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.0° N, 0.9° E: paleocoordinates 34.0° N, 0.7° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Figuerola Formation (Fontllonga Group), Early/Lower Maastrichtian to Early/Lower Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)
• "lower Garumnian"; prev. assigned to La Maçana Fm; close to early/late Maastrichtian boundary
•
•The updated age of the Figuerola Fm implies that the Fontllonga-6 site no longer belongs to the base of chron C31r as proposed by Sellés and Vila (2015) as well as Torices et al. (2015). Instead, this site is allocated to chron C30r (late Maastrichtian). The Figuerola-2, −3 and Perauba-Figuerola sites remain in an undeterminate age around the mid-upper part of chron C31r, but are younger than the earliest Maastrichtian age previously proposed by Torices et al. (2015).
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; claystone
Size class: mesofossils
