  • The continental vertebrate fossil record from Pombal: contribution to the knowledge of Upper Jurassic faunas of the Lusitanian Basin
    Publication . Malafaia, Elisabete; Mocho, Pedro; Escaso, Fernando; Narváez, Iván; Gasulla Asensio, José Miguel; Pérez García, Adán; Marcos-Fernândez, F.; Ortega, Francisco
    ABSTRACT: The presence of dinosaur remains is known in the region of Pombal since the end of the 19th century. The Andrés fossil site is one of the most significant paleontological localities currently known in this region, having yielded an unusually rich and diverse assemblage of vertebrates, including actinopterygians, lepidosaurs, crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, dinosaurs (ornithopods, sauropods and theropods), and mammals. In the last decades, the discovery of other localities with remarkable record of dinosaurs, especially sauropods, underlain the importance of this region for better understanding the continental faunas that inhabited this sector of the Lusitanian Basin during the Late Jurassic. This fossil record is particularly relevant for testing the possible existence of paleoenvironmental constrains in the distribution of some vertebrate taxa in different areas of the basin.

  • The Arrifes geosite: a fascinating glimpse into an Early Cretaceous ecosystem within the Algarvensis aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (Portugal) [Resumo]
    Publication . Pereira, H. J. R.; Lopes, Francisco; Pérez-Cano, J.; Santos, Vanda Faria dos; Malafaia, Elisabete; Mendes, Márcia; Pereira, Zélia; Sweetman, Steven C.; Fernandes, Paulo; Callapez, Pedro M.
    ABSTRACT: Over a century after Paul Choffat's initial description of the Arrifes section, a pioneering figure in Portuguese geology who highlighted the vertical arrangement of the strata and the occurrence of a limestone bed containing a copious quantity of orbitolinid tests, this upper Barremian–lower Aptian stratigraphic succession, which is fully exposed along a coastal cliff section located 2.5 km west-southwest of Albufeira (Algarve, southern Portugal), has become one of the most outstanding geosites within the Algarvensis aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark.
