This paper presents a synthesis of the occurrence of extinct gymnosperms related to the Bennettitales, Erdtmanithecales and Gnetales group and discusses the stratigraphic setting of previously described specimens. These plants are represented by small fossil seeds collected from Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian to Lower Albian) fluvial siliciclastic deposits of the Lusitanian Basin, western Portugal, and probably c...
Segundo M. Varela Gomes, responsável pela escavação, em Março de 2000, de um dos dois silos postos a descoberto por trabalhos de construção civil, o enchimento inclui materiais arqueológicos - cerâmicas, moedas e outros artefactos metálicos - e restos de fauna. Indicam tratar-se de lixo, deitado para o silo depois de desactivado; datando dos primeiros tempos da ocupação cristã (segunda metade do séc. XIII), a j...
A rich uppermost Miocene selachian fauna from the Alvalade Basin (represented by more than 10.000 teeth) is accounted for. It is the most modern miocene fauna of neritic habit under warm-temperate to subtropical conditions, known in the european Miocene.
The section at Cristo Rei shows sandy beds with intercalated clayey lenses (IVb division from the Lisbon Miocene series) that correspond to a major regression event dated from between ca. 17.6 and 17 Ma. They also correspond to a distal position (relatively to the typical fluviatile facies in Lisbon), nearer the basin's axis. Geologic data and paleontological analysis (plant fossils, fishes, crocodilians, land ...
Hybodontidae teeth and spines from the Lourinha Formation, Sobral unit are described. These teeth and spines have been ascribed to the genus Hybodus and regarded as Hybodus cf. reticulatus.
This paper deals with Lamniform teeth collected in deposits from the Esbarrondadoiro Formation, Alvalade Basin in Southern Portugal. The following genera were recognized: Carcharias, Pseudocarcharias, Alopias, Isurus and Carcharocles. The species Carcharias acutissima is by far the most predominant, all other taxa being rare or very rare. This situation points to neritic, tropical to subtropical, rather shallow...
