Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: mudstone
Secondary lithology: sandstone
Lithology description: "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).
Environment:deltaic indet.
Geology comments: Tidally influenced channels with sigmoidal bundles, subordinate currents (Diaz et al. 1984).
Taphonomy

Size of fossils:macrofossils
Preservation of anatomical detail:good
Associated major elements:some
Disassociated major elements:all
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:all microfossils,some macrofossils
Collection methods:selective quarrying,mechanical,field collection
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Collectors:J.M. Herrero Collection dates:1982
Collection method comments: 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 Poyales Barranco Hondo locality.
