Resumen de Primera cita de un dinosaurio hadrosaurio en el Cretácico Superior del Prepirineo oriental (Peguera, provincia de Barcelona)

Xabier Pereda Suberbiola, José Ignacio Ruiz Omeñaca, Juan Ullastre Martorell, Alícia Masriera

  • A right distal femur of a small-sized ornithopod from the Late Cretaceous of the Barcelona province is described. It comes from the Maastrichtian sandstones of Peguera, near Berga, in the Pyrenean region of Bergueda (Barcelona). The femur was originally regarded as belonging to the basal iguanodontian Rhabdodon priscus, but it is here referred to Hadrosauridae on the basis of the anteroposterior expansion of the distal condyles and the possible closure of the anterior intercondylar groove. The Peguera femur is similar to those of Telmatosaurus and "Orthomerus" from Europe, but it is too fragmentary for an accurate determination, so it is provisionally referred to Hadrosauridae indet. This is the first mention of a hadrosaurian dinosaur from the province of Barcelona.
