Also known as Hoces de Beteta
Where: Castilla-La Mancha, Spain (40.6° N, 2.1° W: paleocoordinates 31.1° N, 8.2° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: El Collado Formation, Late/Upper Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)
• El Collado Formation outcrops surrounding Vadillos region have been assigned an upper Barremian age based on charophyte biostratigraphy (Vicente and Martín-Closas 2013).
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; gray claystone and limestone
•"En el tercio superior de estas arcillas, se localiza una concentración de nódulos decimétricos calcáreos, los cuales en algunos casos incluyen restos de plantas, de moluscos o de vertebrados. Las arcillas marrones pasan a margas grises, muy ricas en vertebrados. En ellas se encuentran restos vegetales carbonificados, carofitas, moluscos, ostrácodos, restos óseos de osteíctios, cocodrilomorfos y dinosaurios, y fragmentos de cáscaras de huevo."
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils
