New dinosaur sites correlated with Upper Maastrichtian pelagic deposits in the Spanish Pyrenees: implications for the dinosaur extinction pattern in Europe

Six new dinosaurs sites have been found close to the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary in Arén (south-central Pyrenees, Huesca, Spain) in coastal and non-marine deposits of the Arén and Tremp Formations. The sites contain articulated remains (skull elements, vertebrae, hind-limb bones) and isolated teeth...
