Tejería Beltrán (26.0 m) (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as Tejería Azuvi, Teulería Azuvi

Where: Valenciana, Spain (40.6° N, 0.1° W: paleocoordinates 30.4° N, 9.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Arcillas de Morella Formation, Late/Upper Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)

• informal name; layer at 26m from top; "lower Bedoulian" stage

•

•Villanueva-Amadoz et al. 2015: A Barremian age for this formation is established by its position below the Barremian – Aptian boundary, recently located based on ammonoids in the overlying Forcall Formation from the same sub-basin.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "channel"; fine-grained, ferruginous, micaceous, gray, green, argillaceous, conglomeratic sandstone

• described as "channel fill" and "point bar"
• "clayey sandstone of greenish-gray color, substratified and splintery fractured, with fine-grained (0.2 mm) sandy beds intercalated that are quartzitic and micaceous. There are also carbonate laminae. Locally, at its base, it can have paraconglomeratic accumulations of ferruginous nodules that are more or less imbricated." (translated from Spanish by M. Carrano)
