Favreina Babai Isp. Nov., a new anomuran microcoprolite from the Upper Cretaceous of southeastern Spain

Schlagintweit, Felix ; Torromé, Diego (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: The new anomuran microcoprolite Favreina babai isp. nov. is described from the Late Cretaceous La Cañadilla Formation of the Southern Iberian range. Within the ichnogenus Favreina, the new ichnospecies is characterized as rod-shaped bodies with numerous (> 100) laterally grouped longitudinal canals of rounded transverse sections within the symmetry plane. The high number of these canals represents an unique feature within the (Late) Cretaceous record. The new microcoprolite occurs in wackestones with miliolids (among Vidalina hispanica Schlumberger) and ostracods of shallow-water carbonates ascribed to a near-coastal facies.
