Ecological relationships among fossil vertebrate groups are interpreted based on evidence of modification features and paleopathologies on fossil bones. Here we describe an ichnological assemblage composed of trace fossils on reptile bones, mainly sphenodontids, crocodyliforms and maniraptoran theropods. They all come from La Buitrera, an early Late Cretaceous locality in the Candeleros Formati...

Abstract Oceanic gateways have modulated ocean circulation and influenced climatic variations throughout the Earth´s history. During late Miocene (7.8–7.35 Ma), Atlantic Ocean Mediterranean Sea were connected through Rifian Corridor (Morocco). This gateway is one of few examples deep ancient seaways with a semi-continuous sedimentary record. Deposits comprise turbidites intercalated between dee...

Abstract Integrated sedimentological and ichnological studies in deltaic systems are key to determine whether a delta is river‐dominated, tide‐dominated, wave‐dominated or hybrid, thus predict the distribution of their geometries main reservoirs. The Austral Basin one most important oil gas basins from Argentina, Upper Cretaceous La Anita Formation has shown excellent attributes as hydrocarbon ...

A new dinosaur tracksite in the Vale de Meios quarry (Serra de Aire Formation, Bathonian, Portugal)preserves more than 700 theropod tracks. They are organized in at least 80 unidirectional trackways arranged in a bimodal orientation pattern (W/NW and E/SE). Quantitative and qualitative comparisons reveal that the large tridactyl, elongated and asymmetric tracks resemble the typical Late Jurassi...

The deep-marine environment is a complex setting in which numerous processes —settling of pelagic and hemipelagic particles the water column, sediment gravity flows (downslope density currents; turbid flows), bottom currents— determine deposition, hence variety facies including pelagites/hemipelagites, contourites, turbidites hyperpycnites. Characterization differentiation among deep-sea challe...
