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 and subordinate currents comprise upper subunit, 5-II (Diaz et al. 1984).
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body
Size of fossils:mesofossils
Preservation of anatomical detail:good
Disassociated minor elements:all
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:all microfossils,some macrofossils
Collection methods:field collection
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Collectors:Herrero
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 Partida Poyales locality.
