The ANA fossil site (Cinctorres, Castellón) is placed in the Arcillas de Morella Formation (early Aptian,
Lower Cretaceous) of the Maestrat basin. Dinosaur fossils were recovered in it. The Arcillas de Morella
Formation in the sector of Cinctorres has 57 meters of thickness. It is formed by six facies organized in a
minimum of twelve parasequences in four depositional sequences. Three of these sequences include incised
valleys. The ANA fossil site is located in the infill of the third incised valley. Here, several tree trunks have
been recovered in those the ichnospecie Teredolites clavatus Leymerie, 1842 has been identified. This
ichnogenus is indicative of open marine and marginal marine environments. Its presence in different levels
of the Arcillas de Morella Formation (Teulería Milian, Mas de la Parreta quarry and ANA) allows us to
identify only periods of transgression. It would not correlate the series, neither would be an indication of
the lateral extent of the deposits with bored logs
