Abstract
En este trabajo se describen fósiles de dinosaurios ornitópodos
iguanodontios que proceden de cinco nuevos yacimientos paleontológicos de
la Formación Mirambel (Barremiense, Cretácico Inferior) en los términos de
Castellote y Tronchón (Teruel, España). Se trata de un fragmento de maxilar
izquierdo que conserva dientes funcionales, restos de tres vértebras caudales
y una falange media del pie, que se asignan a un Styracosterna
indeterminado. El gran tamaño de los restos fósiles es coherente con esta
interpretación. El hallazgo de estos fósiles representa una nueva evidencia
de la abundancia de restos de ornitópodos iguanodontios tanto en la
Formación Mirambel como en el conjunto del Cretácico Inferior de la
Cordillera Ibérica
In this work we describe fossils of iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaurs from five new fossil localities of the Mirambel Formation (Barremian, Lower Cretaceous) in the municipalities of Castellote and Tronchón (Teruel, Spain). The studied fossils include an anterior fragment of a left maxilla bearing functional teeth, remains of three caudal vertebrae and a mid pedal phalanx, all of them assigned to Styracosterna indet. The big size of the fossil remains is coherent with this interpretation. The finding of these fossils represents new evidence on the abundance of remains belonging to iguanodontian ornithopods both in the Mirambel Formation as in the Lower Cretaceous of the Iberian Range as a whole
