Diversity of large ornithopod dinosaurs in the upper Hauterivian-lower Barremian (Lower Cretaceous) of Teruel (Spain): a morphometric approach

“…These Barremian faunas are composed of brachiosaurids and rebbachisaurids (among the sauropods), ceratosaurs, baryonychine spinosaurids, carcharodontosaurids, ornithomimosaurs, other small coelurosaurs (among the non-avian theropods), and ankylosaurs (among the thyreophorans), apart from small and large ornithopods (Pereda-Suberbiola et al, 2012;Alcalá et al, (Charig & Milner, 1997;Ortega et al, 2010;Cuesta et al, 2019), strikingly diff erent to the condition observed in MOR1 and MOR2. Finally, thyreophorans such as the Barremian ankylosaur Polacanthus, whose remains have been identifi ed in the Iberian Peninsula (e.g., Gasulla et al, 2011), have very different wider-than-high dorsal vertebrae which are excavated dorsally forming a V-shape pit, anterior caudals with hearth-shaped articular faces, and middle caudal vertebrae with rounded articular faces and transverse processes (Hulke, 1881;Pereda-Suberbiola, 1994), unlike MOR1 and MOR2. As mentioned above, the group of dinosaurs with which MOR1 and MOR2 share further characters are the ornithopods.…”

A new species of Brodiechelys (Testudines, Pan-Cryptodira) from the Early Cretaceous of Spain: Systematic and palaeobiogeographic implications

Holtz et al (2004 proposed that the Greater Wealden, comprising localities of the Lower Cretaceous of England and continental Europe, as well as comparable faunas of southern and central Europe, western North America, and Africa, share a common composition of dinosaur faunas.…”

“…In general, the Iberian Wealden faunas share most of their members with localities of the Wealden Supergroup and its equivalents in Belgium, England, France and Germany (Naish and Martill 2001;Weishampel et al 2004). Some areas in southern England (Wessex Sub-basin of the Isle of Wight and Dorset, Weald Clay of West Sussex and Surrey) and Belgium (Bernissart, in the Mons Basin) seem to have the greatest similarity with the Arcillas de Morella Formation, especially in its dinosaur and crocodile faunas (Gasulla et al 2009(Gasulla et al , 2011.…”
