Cerrada Roya (CRH) (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as Teruel, Galve syncline, Cerrada Roya-Mina, Cerrada Roya Mina, La Mina

Where: Aragón, Spain (40.6° N, 0.9° W: paleocoordinates 30.7° N, 9.2° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Camarillas Formation, Early/Lower Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)

• 5-I is the lower of two sub-units (the other is 5-II).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "channel"; mudstone and sandstone

• "fluvially dominated channels.. low sinuosity channels with vertical acretion (Diaz et al. 1984)"

•unidirectional currents

• "The thickest unit is lithofacies 5, composed of mudstones, sandstones and conglomerates. The sandstones and gravels are found in channels which may be 8 m thick (Diaz et al. 1984).

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by Herrero

• Material is in the J. M. Herrero collection (Galve).

•

•Mudstones contain Unionids, and vertebrate remains, including archosaurs and fish teeth. Channels contain fragments of vertebrates and plant remains, occasionally silicified. It is unclear whether these taxa are present at the Cerrada Roya locality.
