Mas Romeu (11.8 m) (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as Morella

Where: Valenciana, Spain (40.6° N, 0.1° W: paleocoordinates 30.4° N, 9.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Arcillas de Morella Formation, Late/Upper Barremian (130.0 - 125.5 Ma)

• "lower Bedoulian", probably in bed 11.8m from top

•

•Villanueva-Amadoz et al. 2015: A Barremian age for this formation is established by its position below the Barremian – Aptian boundary, recently located based on ammonoids in the overlying Forcall Formation from the same sub-basin.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "channel"; red, argillaceous sandstone

• described as "channel fill" and "point bar"
• "red argillaceous sandstone, without carbonates"

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
