Abstract
El registro fósil de dinosaurios de la Formación Mirambel (Barremiense,
Teruel, España) es relativamente escaso. Hasta el momento se ha citado la
presencia de ornitópodos iguanodontios y terópodos tetanuros basales. En
este trabajo se documenta por primera vez la presencia de saurópodos en
esta unidad. Son restos postcraneales fragmentarios encontrados en diferentes
yacimientos. En su conjunto presentan caracteres diagnósticos que
permite interpretar la presencia de uno o más taxones de Titanosauriformes,
que podrían estar incluidos en Somphospondyli, pero en ningún caso en Titanosauria
The fossil record of dinosaurs from the Mirambel Formation (Barremian, Teruel province, Spain) is relatively scarce, being cited the presence of iguanodontian ornithopods and basal tetanuran theropods until now. In this paper, we document the presence of sauropods in this unit for the first time. They are fragmentary postcranial remains found in different fossil localities. Taken together, they present diagnostic characters for documenting the presence of one or more taxa within Titanosauriformes, which could be Somphospondyli, but in any case can be included within Titanosauria
