Trace and soft body fossils from the Pedroche Formation (Ovetian, Lower Cambrian of the Sierra de Córdoba, S Spain) and their relation to the Pedroch…
2006
The low Lower Cambrian rocks from the Sierra de Cordoba contain one of the best successions in Europe, which consists of well exposed mixed facies with abundant fossil assemblages showing long stratigraphical ranges throughout the Pedroche Formation. These assemblages include diverse Ovetian archaeocyaths, trilobites, small shelly fossils, calcimicrobes, trace fossils and stromatolites. Trace fossils are still poorly known, and thus they are the main objective of this work. Ichnological data are obtained from the Arroyo de Pedroche 1, Arroyo de Pedroche 2 and Puente de Hierro sections. Trace fossils include the ichnogenera Bergaueria, aff. Bilinichnus, Cochlichnus, aff. Cosmorhaphe?, Cylind…
Palaeoenvironmental andstratigraphic aspects of animal traces and plant remains in Spanish Permian red beds (Peña Sagra, Cantabrian Mountains, Spain)
1997
Abstract Various vertebrate and invertebrate traces and plants remains have been discovered in the Permian of Pico Paraes (Cantabrian Mountains). They occur in the Sagra Formation, a 400 m thick unit consisting of a vertical alternation of channels with conglomeratic sandstones and fossiliferous red siltstones with a caliche horizon at the top. The most common trace is Hyloidichnus major which is attributed to approximately 50 cm long Captorhinomorphs. Other tracks provisionally assigned to Limnopus could also indicate the presence of Temnospondyls. The bedding planes with traces also show some tracks of Isopodichnus cf. minutus which is ascribed to small triopsid crustaceans. Like the foot…
