Also known as Cellers-2, Serràt Pedregós
Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.1° N, 0.9° E: paleocoordinates 32.5° N, 2.3° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Arén Formation, Late/Upper Campanian to Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 66.0 Ma)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lagoonal; fine-grained, yellow sandstone and white limestone
•stone is again sharply divided by a new sandstone wedge, which pinches out eastwards. The upper white limestone is overlaid by the same rudist Hippuritella castroi horizon (Fig. 2). Therefore, the two egg sites can be laterally correlated at the top of the sandstone wedge of the Aren Formation. This wedge is just one of the several wedges of the westward prograding Aren Forma- tion, successively intercalated with lagoonal limestones of the Tremp Formation.
