Although the main causes of this turnover are contentious, it is undeniable that these global events significantly influenced the last stages of dinosaur evolution. The Bauru Group in southeastern Brazil is known for its rich body-fossil record of crocodyliform and dinosaur remains, representing a key geological unit for understanding the evolution of continental biotas in the Upper Cretaceous of Gondwana. However, the ichnological record in these units are scarce, primarily consisting of invertebrate burrows and rare tetrapod traces. This study focuses on the newly discovered tracksite within the Cenomanian–Turonian Santo Anastácio Formation, marking the first dinosaur ichnofauna identified in the Bauru Group. The new ichnocoenosis includes four theropod morphotypes, a quadrupedal and a small bipedal ornithischian, bipedal and graviportal ornithopods, and a small, narrow-gauged sauropod trackmaker. These tracks provide new insights into the dinosaur faunas during the Cenomanian–Turonian interval and highlight the existence of clades not previously identified in the Bauru Group, particularly ornithischians. The absence of body fossils of these taxa in the younger strata of the Bauru Group indicates that the successive environmental fluctuations during the Cenomanian–Turonian may have been responsible for regional extinctions or migration of these animals to higher latitudes. This ecological shift might have allowed specialized crocodyliforms like sphagesaurians to fill the niches left by small herbivorous dinosaurs in the Bauru Group, while titanosaurians dominate the medium-to-large herbivore roles in these ancient ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55207,"journal":{"name":"Cretaceous Research","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 106075"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143181580","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}

Sigmoidal cross-stratification, which is often formed under hydraulic conditions transitional between upper and lower flow regimes, was observed at the top of the deposit. The event deposit lies on an erosional surface cut approximately 4 m into the underlying strata and contains sand rip-up clasts of underlying strata. The presence of sand rip-up clasts reflects the powerful effect of this event on the shallow seafloor, which caused erosion of the cemented substrate and generated boulder-size clasts. On the basis of these sedimentological features, we interpret the event deposit as a tsunami deposit. A previous study reported a tsunami deposit about 20 km away from this study site at exactly the same lithostratigraphic horizon as the tsunami deposit reported in this study. The fact that tsunami deposits were found at the same stratigraphic horizon in two distant areas indicate that sediment transport and deposition by the tsunami was substantial and extensive.

The sample comprises twenty relatively complete and well-preserved tooth crowns, belonging to mesial and lateral teeth. The combination of morphological and morphometric features is consistent with the identification of these specimens as belonging to a medium-sized abelisaurid theropod. These specimens resemble the teeth associated with the holotype of <em>Arcovenator escotae</em> (upper Campanian of France) and some isolated teeth assigned to <em>Arcovenator</em> sp. from different temporal correlative localities of Spain. These similarities suggest the presence of an abelisaurid closely related to <em>Arcovenator</em> in Poyos, expanding the fossil record of this lineage of abelisaurids to the upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian in the Iberian Peninsula. The currently known fossil record shows that abelisaurids were one of the most abundant groups of non-coelurosaurian theropods in the Upper Cretaceous of Europe and possibly the only medium-to large-size carnivorous dinosaurs in the Ibero-Armorican realm from the upper Cenomanian to the upper Maastrichtian. The increasing abundance of abelisaurids during the Late Cretaceous and the vanishing of other large theropods that dominated the Early Cretaceous faunas of Ibero-Armorica seem to be part of a faunistic turnover that can be related to a climate change to semi-arid conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55207,"journal":{"name":"Cretaceous Research","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 106072"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143181581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
