Also known as Reef 3364
Where: Spain (40.5° N, 0.1° E: paleocoordinates 30.4° N, 9.6° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Llacova Formation, Hauterivian (132.9 - 129.4 Ma)
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified framestone
•The reefs consist of corals and microbialite (mainly thrombolite)
•as the main constructors. In both reef units, thrombolites
•formed subsequently, overlying a first layer of
•encrusters that settled directly on the corals. Encrusters comprise
•algae, foraminifera, bryozoans and serpulid polychaetes,
•but small lithistid, chaetetid and stromatoporoid sponges are
•also frequent.
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Collection methods: quarrying, peel or thin section,
• Focus on corals
