Abstract
In this work we describe fossils of iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaurs from five new fossil localities of the Mirambel Formation (Barremian, Lower Cretaceous) in the municipalities of Castellote and Tronchón (Teruel, Spain). The studied fossils include an anterior fragment of a left maxilla bearing functional teeth, remains of three caudal vertebrae and a mid pedal phalanx, all of them assigned to Styracosterna indet. The big size of the fossil remains is coherent with this interpretation. The finding of these fossils represents new evidence on the abundance of remains belonging to iguanodontian ornithopods both in the Mirambel Formation as in the Lower Cretaceous of the Iberian Range as a whole.
