In the Cameros Basin, theropods have been mostly documented in the Eastern Cameros sub-basin with baryonychine spinosaurids dominating this sector. Instead, theropods are rarer in the Western Cameros sub-basin. Here, we describe material from the Western Cameros sub-basin, recovered in the upper Hauterivian–lower Barremian Golmayo Formation of Soria (Los Caños and Zorralbo I sites), which allowed us to identify three early-branching tetanuran and three baryonychine dental morphotypes, and a large-sized spinosaurid from Zorralbo I. The latter is represented by cranial, axial, and appendicular bones, and identified as a large-sized baryonychine based on anatomical and phylogenetic studies. Our results demonstrate that the theropod assemblages are consistent within the entire Cameros Basin, exhibiting a dominance of baryonychines. Western Cameros theropods are not only limited to Baryonychinae but they would also coexist with other early-branching tetanurans and coelurosaurians. The Lower Cretaceous Iberian record is represented by taxa from all major clades within Theropoda (i.e., Tetanurae, Allosauroidea, Carcharodontosauria, Coelurosauria, Ornithomimosauria, Paraves and Dromaeosauridae), being Spinosauridae the most prevalent group, with five described genera and species and a large number of tooth morphotypes. Indeed, three spinosaurine and ten baryonychine tooth morphotypes have been identified in the Iberian record so far. This study demonstrates that the entire Cameros Basin has a great representation of the theropod record of the Iberian Peninsula, and it underscores the potential of this basin to understand the Iberian palaeobiodiversity, especially in spinosaurids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55207,"journal":{"name":"Cretaceous Research","volume":"173 ","pages":"Article 106134"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143808371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We collected hundreds of coprolites from the Upper Cretaceous Pisdura site of Central India. Type A morphotype coprolites from the Lameta Formation of Pisdura, Maharashtra, India, have been found to have a rich microbiota with unique plant fossils. When macerated fractions were analysed using scanning electron microscopy, seven ostracod taxa were found, together with diatoms (<em>Aulacoseira</em> sp.), a charophyte (<em>Microchara</em> sp.), and sponge spicules. Thin sections of one of the coprolites also revealed a large number of likely chrysophytes. One of the cut slab specimens of the coprolite contains an insect body part with a partially intact wing. In addition, a review of previous studies reveals that spores, fungal remnants, thecamoebians, testate amoebae, and plant remains are also present in the Type A coprolites. For the Lameta Formation in Pisdura, the microbiota provide evidence for a Maastrichtian age and fluvio-lacustrine depositional conditions and other varied environments. Much of the plant detritus is not identifiable, but some tissues can be recognised, such as Poaceae cuticle, spores, wood, cones, seeds, phytoliths, and silica-replaced leaf laminae. Chemical analyses show that the coprolites have a phosphorus content of between 12.2 and 16.2 weight% which suggests a carnivorous habit. Thus, these Type A coprolites reveal that the ancient faecal producers not only consumed aquatic microbiota and abundant plant tissues but also likely ingested soft animal tissues as well. Although water input may have been the source of testate amoebae, diatoms, sponge spicules, and algae remnants, the peculiar pairing of a phosphatic composition with dietary residues from plants and microbiota suggests that the ancient faecal producers were omnivores. This feeding habit implied by the Type A coprolites indicates that previous attributions to herbivorous titanosaurs are not well-supported.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55207,"journal":{"name":"Cretaceous Research","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 106110"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143725168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, several fossil woods have been reported since the 18th century from the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous deposits of Missão Velha Formation, Araripe Basin, northeastern Brazil, although no taxonomic and systematic analysis has been carried out so far. Here, we provide the first taxonomic and systematic study of these fossil woods, utilizing them for paleoclimatic and paleobiogeographic inferences for this region in equatorial Gondwana. We thus describe a new fossil-species, <em>Metapodocarpoxylon brasiliense</em>, and document, for the first time, the presence of <em>Agathoxylon mendezii</em> in Brazil. They are distinguished by characters of radial pit arrangement, cross-field pits, presence of resin plugs, axial parenchyma, septate tracheids, and ray seriation and height. These fossil-genera have been previously observed in other Mesozoic paleoxylofloras of Gondwana, being <em>Metapodocarpoxylon,</em> in particular, restricted to the tropical belt and coastal areas, and its occurrence in Brazilian paleofloras is unknown to date. Its new occurrence suggests a migration of this element of the paleovegetation towards inland areas likely triggered by paleoclimatic changes from the Late Jurassic onwards. The presence of indistinct and distinct growth rings with narrow latewood in the conifer assemblage suggests a moderately seasonal paleoclimate with rainy and dry seasons, which is also supported by the geological data, probably stimulated by the monsoonal regime in the basinal area. The new wood records, combined with geological and paleoclimatological background information and palynological data obtained from the study area in the early 2000’s allowed for a preliminary reconstruction of a segment of the landscape during deposition of the Missão Velha Formation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55207,"journal":{"name":"Cretaceous Research","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 106099"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
