Abstract

Previous and new fossils of sauropods are reported from the Papo-Seco Formation (lower Barremian, Lower Cretaceous) at Cabo Espichel, south of Lisbon, Portugal. The fossils were collected from the Boca do Chapim and Praia do Areia do Mastro sites. The sauropods and other vertebrate fossil remains from the Papo-Seco Formation occur in marls, sandstones and some conglomerates in a sedimentary succession interpreted as deposited in lagoonal and estuarine environments, under a tropical climate. The study of the available specimens, including teeth and postcranial remains, suggests the occurrence of Titanosauriform sauropods.
