Late Maastrichtian small-sized herpetofauna from Valencia province, eastern Spain

摘要: AbstractA Late Maastrichtian microvertebrate assemblage which includes amphibian remains was recovered from continental deposits of the palaeontological site La Solana, Valencia Province, Spain. This is composed variegated mudstones, pedogenically modified, interbedded with fluvial sand bodies and freshwater limestones lenses, has also yielded plant debris, oligohaline invertebrates, abundant fish (isolated bones scales), turtle plates archosaur bones. fossil assemblage, dominated by aquatic forms, semiaquatic terrestrial elements, may be interpreted as palaeofauna a wetland environment environs. The new material described here consists fragmentary an indeterminate albanerpetontid, salamandrid two anuran taxa (an alytid palaeobatrachid). amphibians Solana are typical Laurasiatic taxa. faunal association shows broad similarities to other coeval faunas Iberian Pe...
