The Middle? to Upper Cambrian La Matosa Member consists mainly of quartz sandstone and includes locally a thick fossiliferous intercalation of dark shale ("El Fabar beds") from which the acritarch sample was collected. The latter shale levels yielded also some linguliform brachiopods, olenid trilobites and phyllocarid crustaceans.
The regional chronostratigraphy of the British Ordovician, established mainly for shelly facies, ... more The regional chronostratigraphy of the British Ordovician, established mainly for shelly facies, is hard to correlate in the Iberian Peninsula, especially after the separation and drift of Avalonia from Gondwana by the early Middle Ordovician. The same applies to the Ordovician global scale, whose stratotypes involve deeper-water facies and faunas not recorded in the high-paleolatitudinal settings of southern peri-Gondwana. In order to solve the problem, an alternative regional scheme for the " Mediterranean " Ordovician was proposed in the 1970s. This comprises five regional stages plus the global Tremadocian and Hirnantian, which are largely based on the distribution of endemic shelly fossils combined with some graptolites and a good palynological record. This Ordovician scale presents precise correlation potential for southwestern and central Europe (Ibero-Armorica, Sardinia, Bohemia, Bulgaria) and may be extended around the Mediterranean region. Sporadic occurrences of graptolites and shelly faunas of Baltic or Avalonian affinities allow for indirect correlation with the global stages through their own regional scales.

Furthermore stable and radiogenic isotope trends play an important role in the interpretation of the causes and consequences of biotic turnovers at stratigraphic boundaries as well as in global correlations.

It comes from an outcrop of the La Manjoya Formation, possibly Lower-Middle Cenomanian based on their foraminiferal content. The tooth can not be identified to generic of familiar level, so it is only assigned to Theropoda indet. By its size and serration density it
could pertain to a carcharodontosaurid dinosaur, but it cannot be confirmed due to its fragmentary condition.
This is the first mention of a theropod dinosaur in the Cretaceous of Asturias and the only theropod skeletal remain described in the pre-Campanian Late Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula.

Cueto Negro (Asturias, en la Zona Cantábrica). En este yacimiento se han identificado seis especies de trilobites, una de las cuales es
nueva para la ciencia: Badulesia cautumensis. La edad del yacimiento es Caesaraugustiense inferior (equivalente a la parte alta del piso
5 del Cámbrico) y, probablemente, pertenece a la parte alta de la zona de Badulesia tenera.

La serie abarca un lapso de tiempo comprendido entre el Albiense Superior y el Santoniense Superior. Se identifican tres rupturas sedimentarias: al techo del Albiense Superior, en la base del Cenomaniense Superior y en la base del Coniaciense.
