Sierra Perenchiza Formation

The Sierra Perenchiza Formation is a late Campanian to late Maastrichtian geologic formation in Spain. Dinosaur, pterosaur, turtle, lissamphibian, frog and albanerpetontid remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation,[1] although none have yet been referred to a specific genus[2] and the crocodylomorphs Acynodon, Doratodon ibericus and Musturzabalsuchus are also known from this formation.[3]
