Abstract

Here we present “Barranco del Hocino 1”, a new vertebrate locality from the Blesa Formation (Barremian), near the town of Estercuel (Teruel, Spain). One campaign of fieldwork has enabled us to recover one hundred of osteological remains. They include ornithopod, thyreophoran and theropod dinosaur postcranial remains and isolated teeth, as well as those of crocodylomorphs, chelonians and osteichthyes. Coprolites and eggshell fragments are also present. This new vertebrate fossil site represents a significate contribution on the vertebrate diversity in the lower Barremian of Teruel and the formation of vertebrate sites in Oliete Sub-Basin.
