Taphonomy of insects in carbonates and amber
TL;DR: The major taphonomic processes that control insect preservation in carbonate rocks (limestones, travertines and nodules) are biological: insect size and wingspan, degree of decomposition, presence of microbial mats, predation and scavenging; environmental: water surface tension, water temperature, density and salinity, current activity; and diagenetic: authigenic mineralisation, flattening, deformation, carbonisation as discussed by the authors.

Antonio Arillo,Eduardo Barrón,J. Carmelo Corral,Joan O. Grimalt,Jordi F. Lopez,Rafael López,Xavier Martínez-Delclòs,Vicente M. Ortuño,Enrique Peñalver,Paulo R. Trincao +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of crustaceans (amphipods and isopods), chelicerates (acari and arachnids), 12 orders of insects, and several bird feathers are reported.

Journal ArticleDOI
A Nestling Bird from the Lower Cretaceous of Spain: Implications for Avian Skull and Neck Evolution
José Luis Sanz,Luis M. Chiappe,Bernardino P. Pérez-Moreno,José J. Moratalla,Francisco Hernández-Carrasquilla,Angela D. Buscalioni,Francisco Ortega,Francisco José Poyato-Ariza,Diego Rasskin-Gutman,Xavier Martínez-Delclòs +9 more
TL;DR: This fossil was a nestling and suggests that early postnatal developments in the Cretaceous enantiornithine birds and those in their extant counterparts are comparable, and reemphasizes the notion that the early morphological transformations of birds were focused on the flight apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Early Cretaceous faunal and floral continental assemblage: Las Hoyas fossil site (Cuenca, Spain)
José Luis Sanz,Sylvie Wenz,Alfonso Yébenes,Richard Estes,Xavier Martínez-Delclòs,Emiliano Jimenez-Fuentes,Carmen Diéguez,Angela D. Buscalioni,Luis Javier Barbadillo,Luis Via +9 more
TL;DR: The fossiliferous beds of Las Hoyas (province ofCuenca, Spain) are composed of limestones (probably Late Hauterivian), and the fishes are the main component of the vertebrate fauna both in number of individuals and diversity (13 different taxa).
