Also known as Point 5, Orcau ravine; Barranco de Orcau
Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.2° N, 1.0° E: paleocoordinates 34.2° N, 0.8° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Conques Formation (Tremp Group), Early/Lower Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)
• "level b"; "Garumnian", in the lower gray unit
•
•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).
•
•La Posa Fm. = early Maastrichtian (Fondevilla et al. 2019)
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; gray marl
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by Kühne, Bermudo Meléndez, Lapparent, Aguirre, Rosell in 1954, 1956
