Lithology and environment
| Lithology description: 'In the Alfambra formation 'At about 7m from the base there is an intercalation of 0.4m brown marl with many white bones of larger mammals, some molluscs and plant remains. This level corresponds with the classical locality of Cerro de la Garita (CC). A small sample from a level about 5m below that of the classical locality and about 100m east of the sheep-fold has yielded some smaller mammals. It has been named CCB.' |
