“…This implies that the studied LRU section is no younger than earliest middle Permian. In addition, Mujal et al (2016b) reported a caseid vertebra from the Upper Red Unit tentatively correlated to the early Wordian. The Upper Red Unit, preserved in eastwards Catalan Pyrenean localities (Mujal et al, in press), overlies the Lower Red Unit by means of an angular unconformity (Gisbert, 1981;Speksnijder, 1985;Gretter et al, 2015).…”

The Carboniferous-Permian terrestrial successions record a global climatic shift from icehouse to hothouse conditions. Our multidisciplinary study documents an aridification trend throughout the ~1000 m thick composite terrestrial succession of the western Catalan Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula), representing this time period. The detailed stratigraphic framework integrates sedimentology, paleopedology, biochronology (plant 2 fossils and tetrapod footprints) and geochronology (paleomagnetism). Additional absolute age correlation is also carried out. The new and reviewed data show that the late Carboniferous wet environments (with short drought periods) progressively changed to a strong seasonal semi-arid and arid climate (with short humid periods) through the early Permian. This paleoclimatic trend supports the previously suggested aridification of the Pangean pan-tropical belt, and supports the hypothesis of the influence of the recurrent climatic fluctuations in Central Pangea, being tentatively correlated to the Southern Gondwanan glaciation-deglaciation periods. Therefore, the Carboniferous-Permian terrestrial succession from the Catalan Pyrenees emerges as a continuous record that can help to constrain late Paleozoic paleoenvironmental events.

“…The basin architecture and evolution has been largely studied (Speksnijder, 1985;Saura and Teixell, 2006;Izquierdo-Llavall et al, 2014;Gretter et al, 2015). A revision of the Triassic vertebrate content has been addressed by Fortuny et al (2011a), and more recently Mujal et al (2016Mujal et al ( , 2017 revised and provided new data on the Permo-Triassic transition.…”

“…The European late Olenekian−Anisian archosauromorph record is relatively rich, but that of the Iberian Peninsula is restricted to ichnites from the Buntsandstein and Muschelkalk facies (Lapparent et al, 1965;Calafat et al, 1987;Fortuny et al, 2011a;Mujal et al, 2016Mujal et al, , 2017. The only named Iberian Middle Triassic archosauromorph species is the tanystropheid Cosesaurus aviceps from the Ladinian of the Montral-Alcover Basin (Ellenberger and Villalta, 1974;Sanz and López-Martínez, 1984).…”

This paper discusses the taxonomic affinities of three isolated teeth discovered in the Buntsandstein facies of the Catalan Coastal Ranges and central-eastern Pyrenean basins that crop out in Catalonia, north-eastern Spain. The tooth crowns are blade-like, labiolingually compressed, distally recurved, and proportionally apicobasally tall, in which the most complete of them is at least 2.4 times taller than its mesiodistal depth at base. The distal margins possess a densely serrated carina, and the mesial margins lack carina and serrations. The enamel of the crowns lacks ornamentation (e.g., wrinkles, ridges) or macroscopic wear-facets. The three teeth are referred to indeterminate crocopodan archosauromorphs based on the presence of labiolingually compressed and serrated crowns. The absence of mesial denticles resembles the condition in the non-archosauriform archosauromorph Teyujagua, proterosuchids, and some more crownward archosauriforms (e.g., some proterochampsids). We could not find evidence to determine if these teeth belong to a single or multiple closely related species. These remains represent the first direct archosauromorph remains from Lower−Middle Triassic beds of the Iberian Peninsula and add information about the geographic distribution of the group during the dawn of the evolutionary radiation of the group.
