Upper Cretaceous European theropod palaeobiodiversity, palaeobiogeography and the intra‐Maastrichtian faunal turnover: new contributions from the Iberian fossil site of Laño

Abstract: A total of 227 theropod teeth have so far been recovered from the upper Campanian Laño site (northern Iberian Peninsula). The teeth were studied for their qualitative and quantitative features. From the theropod sample found at Laño, seven morphotypes attributed to five taxa are identified: a medium to large abelisaurid (Arcovenator sp.) and four small coelurosaurians (Dromaeosauridae indet., Paraves indet., cf. Paronychodon sp. and cf. Richardoestesia sp.) Together with the ground bird Gargantuavis and a poss… Show more

“…Dental material previously described as "hadrosaurid" compares well to the hadrosauromorphs Jeyawati and Bactrosaurus, and the early diverging hadrosaurid Eotrachodon. Theropod teeth include indeterminate dromaeosaurs and tyrannosaurs as well as an unusual paravian crown remarkably similar to remains from the Campanian of Spain (Isasmendi et al, 2022). Teeth from both members attributable to the enigmatic paravian morphotaxon "Richardoestesia" are exceptionally numerous in the collection.…”

“…An abundant and diverse fossil record of continental vertebrates has been described in different Campanian-Maastrichtian localities from Spain, particularly in the Basque-Cantabrian and Iberian basins, in the north and center-east regions respectively (e.g., [18,22,37,44,72,73]). The paleontological locality of Chera, in Valencia (middle-upper Campanian), yielded a relatively abundant and diverse assemblage of vertebrates (e.g., [18,[73][74][75]). However, theropod dinosaurs are represented by scarce isolated teeth that were interpreted as belonging to Theropoda indet., Neoceratosauria indet.…”
