Masia de Ramón [Conques Fm.] (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as Tremp

Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.1° N, 1.0° E: paleocoordinates 34.1° N, 0.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Conques Formation (Tremp Group), Early/Lower Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• The Conques Formation is equivalent to the "lower Red Garumnian" facies. The Conques Formation was previously assigned a late maastrichtian age (Sellés and Villa 2015; Villa et al. 2015) Biostratigraphy and Sr stable isotope geochemistry suggest that the La Posa and Conques Formation are entirely early Maastrichtian, lying within chron C31r (see Caus et al. 2016; Oms et al. 2016; Fondevilla et al. 2016; Fondevilla et al. 2019).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coarse channel fill; bioturbated, red sandstone

• "Meandering fluvial channel"
• facies F12B: "Mixed very fine- to coarse-grained sst, microcgl and cgl / Ochre and red / Lateral accretion surfaces, planar cross-bedding, current ripples / Purple, red and/or grey mottling, very bioturbated"

Size class: macrofossils
