Huellas de dinosaurios en el Jurásico superior de Ababuj (Teruel)

Abstract

A new dinosaur ichnological site located in the Upper Jurassic of Ababuj (Teruel, Spain) is described, it is formed by at least twenty oval-shaped and five tridactyl-shaped footprints preserved in mudstones with mudcraks, small ripple-marks and breccias. The width of the footprint beds is on the centimetrical-scale and these levels show a thin internal lamination . The length of the oval imprints ranges from 21 to 86 cm and the width from 14 to 84 cm. This preliminary exploration carried out in the sorroundings of Ababuj-Aguilar del Alfambra allows to expect new findings of footprint sites in the Upper Jurassic of this area of the Iberian Chain
