“…As a result, both terrestrial and freshwater vertebrate fossils occur within an alluvial system composed mainly of fluvial sands and silts (Gómez-Alday, 1999;Pereda Suberbiola et al, 2000) in two successive beds named as L1A and L1B. Another silty fossiliferous bed named L2 occurs at the eastern end of the Laño quarry, and is apparently older in age by its correlated stratigraphic position.…”

“…Both lithologic and taphonomic features indicate that it tends more towards the channel-fill mode than towards the channel-lag mode (Astibia et al, 1999c;Pereda Suberbiola et al, 2000). Moreover, sedimentological features observed at Laño suggest a gradual abandonment of the channel, with occasional periods of reactivation (Gómez-Alday, 1999).…”

“…This material was referred to Allodaposuchus precedens in the revision made by Buscalioni et al (2001). The genus Allodaposuchus is a major component of the Late Cretaceous crocodyliform faunas of Europe (Martin and Delfino, 2010), and it shows a wide spectrum of variation.…”

“…The genus Allodaposuchus is a major component of the Late Cretaceous crocodyliform faunas of Europe (Martin and Delfino, 2010), and it shows a wide spectrum of variation. Generally placed as the sister taxon of the Crocodylia crown group, it still needs a more comprehensive revision for a precise phylogenetic standing (Buscalioni et al, 2001(Buscalioni et al, , 2011Pol et al, 2009;Martin, 2010;Puértolas et al, 2014).…”

The vertebrate-bearing beds of the Laño quarry (Condado de Treviño) are among the most relevant sites from the Late Cretaceous of Europe. Geologically, Laño and the adjacent region are set on the southern limb of the South-Cantabrian Synclinorium (SE Basque-Cantabrian Region, northern Iberian Peninsula). The Laño sites were discovered in 1984; thousands of bones and teeth, including microfossils, have been collected during the prospection in the field and excavation campaigns. The vertebrate remains occur at two different stratigraphic horizons within a continental to shallow marine succession of Late Campanian-Maastrichtian age. The lower horizon contains the Laño 1 and Laño 2 sites, whereas the upper horizon contains the Albaina site. In the Laño sites, three fossiliferous beds (called L1A, L1B and L2) are known within an alluvial system composed mainly of fluvial sands and silts. The sedimentary structures are consistent with channel areas within an extensive braided river system. Based mainly on stratigraphic correlations, the fluvial beds of Laño are regarded as Late Campanian to Early Maastrichtian in age. These deposits have yielded a very diverse vertebrate assemblage, which consists of nearly 40 species, including actinopterygians, lissamphibians, lepidosaurs, turtles, crocodyliforms, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and mammals. Seven genera and ten species have been erected to date in Laño. With reference to the marine vertebrate association of Albaina, it consists of at least 37 species, including sharks and rays, actinopterygians, mosasaurids, and plesiosaurs. Two genera and species of rhinobatoids (family indet.) and two new species of rhinobatids have been erected in Albaina. The fossil association indicates a Late (but not latest) Maastrichtian age. Recently, isolated turtle and dinosaur fossils have been discovered in the sublittoral beds of Albaina. The Laño quarry is one of the most noteworthy Campanian-Maastrichtian vertebrate localities of Europe by its taxonomic diversity, and provides useful information about the composition and affinities of both continental and marine vertebrate faunas from the latest Cretaceous of southwestern Europe.

“…The first is Hylaeochampsidae, a monophyletic group represented by small forms as Hylaeochampsa, from the Barremian of the Isle of Wight (Clark and Norell, 1992); Pietraroiasuchus, from the Albian of Italy (Buscalioni et al, 2011); Iharkutosuchus, from the Santonian of Hungary (Ősi et al, 2007); and Acynodon from the Campanian-Maastrichtian of Spain, France and Italy (Buscalioni et al, , 1999Martin, 2007;Delfino et al, 2008). Specimens from Romania, France and Spain compose a second non-crocodylian eusuchian group (Buscalioni et al, 2001;Puértolas-Pascual et al, 2014) generally assigned to Allodaposuchus.…”

The Late Cretaceous (Campanian-Maastrichtian) fossil site of Lo Hueco was recently discovered close to the village of Fuentes (Cuenca, Spain) during the cutting of a little hill for installation of the railway of the Madrid-Levante high-speed train. To date, it has yielded a rich collection of well-preserved Cretaceous macrofossils, including plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. The recovered fossil assemblage is mainly composed of plants, molluscs (bivalves and gastropods), actinopterygians and teleosteans fishes, amphibians, panpleurodiran (bothremydids) and pancryptodiran turtles, squamate lizards, eusuchian crocodyliforms, rhabdodontid ornithopods, theropods (mainly dromaeosaurids), and titanosaur sauropods. This assemblage was deposited in a near-coast continental muddy floodplain crossed by distributary sandy channels, exposed intermittently to brackish or marine and freshwater flooding as well as to partial or total desiccation events.
