La Cantalera: an exceptional window onto the vertebrate biodiversity of the Hauterivian-Barremian transition in the Iberian Peninsula
[EN]La Cantalera is an accumulation site for fossil vertebrates consisting mainly of teeth and isolated postcranial remains. It has the greatest vertebrate biodiversity of any site from the Hauterivian-Barremian transition in the Iberian Peninsula. Up to now, 31 vertebrate taxa have been recognized:...

| description | [EN]La Cantalera is an accumulation site for fossil vertebrates consisting mainly of teeth and isolated postcranial remains. It has the greatest vertebrate biodiversity of any site from the Hauterivian-Barremian transition in the Iberian Peninsula. Up to now, 31 vertebrate taxa have been recognized: an osteichthyan (Teleostei indet.), two amphibians (Albanerpetonidae indet. and Discoglos-sidae indet.), a chelonian (Pleurosternidae? indet.), a lizard (Paramacellodidae? indet.), four crocodylomorphs (cf. Theriosuchussp., Bernissartiidae indet., Goniopholididae indet., cf. Lisboasaurus sp.), two pterosaurs (Istiodactylidae? indet., Ornithocheiridae? indet.), four ornithopod dinosaurs (Iguanodontoidea indet., Hadrosauroidea? indet., “Hypsilophodontidae” indet., Rhabdodonti-dae? indet.), a thyreophoran (Polacanthidae indet.), a sauropod (Euhelopodidae indet.), eleven theropods (Carcharodontosauridae? indet., Baryonychinae indet., aff. Paronychodon sp., Maniraptora indet. 1-3, Dromaeosaurinae indet. 1-3, Velociraptorinae indet., Avialae? indet.) and three or four multituberculate mammals (Cantalera abadi, Eobaatar sp., Plagiaulacidae or Eobaataridae gen. et sp. indet., “Plagiaulacida” indet.). Nine ootaxa have also been distinguished at the site of La Cantalera. Oofamilies assigned to dinosaurs (Elongaloolithidae, Prismatoolithidae, cf. Spheroolithidae), to crocodiles (Krokolithidae) and eggshells of two oofamilies incertidae sedis are represented. This association is consistent with the record of bone and tooth remains from the site. La Cantalera was formed in a marshy environment where there was an intermittent body of water. The great majority of the vertebrate fossil remains lack evidence of transport, so the preserved association is a good representation of the vertebrate ecosystem in or around the marshy area of La Cantalera. The vertebrate association of La Cantalera displays certain differences with respect to those from lacustrine environments of the Hauterivian-Barremian transition of the Iberian Range. These differences include, for example, the absence of Chondrichthyes, the merely token presence of the osteichthyans, the scarcity of chelonians, the presence of exclusively multituberculate mammals, the lower diversity of sauropods and the greater diversity of theropods. |

[ES]La Cantalera es un yacimiento de acumulación de vertebrados fósiles compuesto mayoritariamente por dientes y restos postcra-neales aislados. Se trata del yacimiento con mayor biodiversidad de vertebrados en el tránsito Hauteriviense-Barremiense en la Península ibérica. Hasta el momento se han reconocido 31 taxones de vertebrados: un actinopterigio (Teleostei indet.), dos anfibios (Albanerpetonidae indet. y Discoglossidae indet.), un quelonio (Pleurosternidae? indet.), un lagarto (Paramacellodidae? indet.), cuatro crocodilomorfos (cf. Theriosuchus sp., Bernissartiidae indet., Goniopholididae indet., cf. Lisboasaurus sp.), dos pterosaurios (Istiodactylidae? indet., Ornithocheiridae? indet.), cuatro dinosaurios ornitópodos (Iguanodontoidea indet., Hadrosauroidea? indet., ”Hypsilophodontidae” indet., Rhabdodontidae? indet.), un tireóforo (Polacanthidae indet.), un saurópodo (Euhelopodidae indet.), once terópodos (Carcharodontosauridae? indet., Baryonychinae indet., aff. Paronychodon sp., Maniraptora indet. 1-3, Dromaeosau-rinae indet. 1-3, Velociraptorinae indet. y Avialae? indet.) y tres o cuatro mamíferos multibuberculados (Cantalera abadi, Eobaatar sp., Plagiaulacidae or Eobaataridae gen. et sp. indet., “Plagiaulacida” indet.). También se han diferenciado nueve ootaxones. Están representadas oofamilias asignadas a dinosaurios (Elongaloolithidae, Prismatoolithidae, cf. Spheroolithidae), a cocodrilos (Kroko-lithidae) y a dos oofamilias incertidae sedis. Esta asociación es coherente con el registro de restos directos del yacimiento. La Can-talera se formó en un medio palustre donde se desarrollo una lámina de agua intermitente. La gran mayoría de los restos fósiles de vertebrados carecen de evidencias de transporte, por lo que la asociación conservada es una buena representación del ecosistema de vertebrados que vivían en o cerca del área palustre de La Cantalera. La asociación de los vertebrados de La Cantalera presenta algunas diferencias con las de medios lacustres de la transición Hauteriviense-Barremiense de la Cordillera Ibérica. Entre estas dife-rencias se puede apuntar la ausencia de condrictios, la presencia meramente testimonial de los actinopterigios, escasez de quelonios, presencia exclusivamente de mamíferos multituberculados, menor diversidad de saurópodos y mayor diversidad de terópodos This paper forms part of the project CGL2007-62469, subsidized by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, the European Regional Development Fund, the Government of Aragon (“Grupos Consolidados” and “Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural”) and the Government of the Principality of Asturias (Protocol CN-04-226; JIR-O), Juan de la Cierva Program of the Ministry of Education and Science http://hdl.handle.net/10366/155547 |
