“…Even fluvial-dominated environments (typical from the Lower Red Garumnian), display features of tidal influence, such as inclined heterolithic stratification (Díez-Canseco, Arz, Benito, Díaz-Molina, & Arenillas, 2014; Marmi et al, 2015). This feature is also recognizable in the meandering bars of the Posa Fm (Vila et al, 2010).…”

Reading tidal processes where their signature is cryptic: The Maastrichtian meandering channel deposits of the Tremp Formation (Southern Pyrenees, Spain)

Tidal currents can propagate tens of kilometres landward from the shoreline, forming dense networks of meandering channels, which drain vegetated areas and range in width from tens to hundreds of metres. Sedimentary products of these inland tidal channels are poorly documented in the stratigraphic record, as most studies on tidal processes occurring in inland areas are focused on fluvio-tidal interaction. The present study contributes to filling this gap, investigating Late Maastrichtian meandering-channel deposits of the Tremp-Graus Basin (Southern Pyrenees, Spain). These deposits accumulated in a growth syncline, which allowed the development of a 20 to 30 km wide, 80 to 100 km long, tidal embayment. Sporadic occurrence of poorly-developed rhythmites and bidirectional currents confirms the occurrence of tidal processes, whereas their local dominance is inferred from several pieces of evidence, including: (i) disproportion between depth of the larger channels and related catchment area; (ii) landward-accretion of pointbar bodies; (iii) landward fining of point-bar bodies, and (iv) reconstruction of palaeo-flow patterns at the meander bend scale. This work shows that three-dimensional architectural modelling and reconstruction of bar planform transformation styles can provide a critical contribution to the understanding of tidal control on sedimentation in inland areas.

“…A final phylogenetic analysis was performed in order to assess the relationships amongst allodaposuchians. The phylogenetic hypotheses recently reported were not based on all the allodaposuchid taxa [ 11 – 13 , 28 ], but after the increase in the European Late Cretaceous crocodyliform diversity that has taken place in recent years [ 7 – 14 , 18 , 20 , 28 , 29 ], a review of this clade is necessary.…”

Importance of the postcranial skeleton in eusuchian phylogeny: Reassessing the systematics of allodaposuchid crocodylians

Our current knowledge on the crocodyliform evolution is strongly biased towards the skull morphology, and the postcranial skeleton is usually neglected in many taxonomic descriptions. However, it is logical to expect that it can contribute with its own phylogenetic signal. In this paper, the changes in the tree topology caused by the addition of the postcranial information are analysed for the family Allodaposuchidae, the most representative eusuchians in the latest Cretaceous of Europe. At present, different phylogenetic hypotheses have been proposed for this group without reaching a consensus. The results of this paper evidence a shift in the phylogenetic position when the postcranium is included in the dataset, pointing to a relevant phylogenetic signal in the postcranial elements. Finally, the phylogenetic relationships of allodaposuchids within Eusuchia are reassessed; and the internal relationships within Allodaposuchidae are also reconsidered after an exhaustive revision of the morphological data. New and improved diagnoses for each species are here provided.
