Resumen

Introduction: Barranco del Hocino-1 is a new fossil site located near Estercuel, Teruel province, Spain. The fossil site is located geologically within the Oliete sub-basin, in the Blesa Formation (Barremian in age). Barranco del Hocino-1 shows a diverse assemblage of tetrapod vertebrates similar to other sites in the Blesa Formation. Materials and methods: Six isolated teeth belonging to Theropoda have been found. A study of their qualitative and quantitative characters, along with statistical (DFA) and cladistic analyses, enable us to identify four different dental morphotypes. Results: These morphotypes belong to separate tetanuran theropod taxa. One is related to Spinosauridae. The other morphotypes show affinities with non-spinosaurid tetanurans, probably related to Carcharodontosauria. Conclusions: The results are congruent with the known theropod record of the Iberian Peninsula and western Europe. This work is a new contribution to what is known of the palaeobiodiversity and distribution of large-bodied theropods from the Barremian of the Iberian Peninsula. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature.
