Presencia de Teredolites Leymerie 1842 en el yacimiento con dinosaurios ANA (Cretácico Inferior, Cinctorres, Castellón)

Abstract

The ANA fossil site (Cinctorres, Castellón) is placed in the Arcillas de Morella Formation (early Aptian, Lower Cretaceous) of the Maestrat basin. Dinosaur fossils were recovered in it. The Arcillas de Morella Formation in the sector of Cinctorres has 57 meters of thickness. It is formed by six facies organized in a minimum of twelve parasequences in four depositional sequences. Three of these sequences include incised valleys. The ANA fossil site is located in the infill of the third incised valley. Here, several tree trunks have been recovered in those the ichnospecie Teredolites clavatus Leymerie, 1842 has been identified. This ichnogenus is indicative of open marine and marginal marine environments. Its presence in different levels of the Arcillas de Morella Formation (Teulería Milian, Mas de la Parreta quarry and ANA) allows us to identify only periods of transgression. It would not correlate the series, neither would be an indication of the lateral extent of the deposits with bored logs
