Editing Paleobiota of the Cañadón Asfalto Formation

{{short description|none}}
The [[Cañadón Asfalto Formation]] is a [[geological formation]] which dates to the [[Toarcian]] age of the [[Early Jurassic]] period of [[Argentina]]. The rocks of the formation preserve a diverse biota, including [[Plant|plants]], [[Dinosaur|dinosaurs]], [[Invertebrate|invertebrates]], [[Mammal|mammals]] and [[Pterosaur|pterosaurs]], among others. The formation is divided into two members: the lower Las Chacritas Member, and the overlying Puesto Almada member, though the latter has also been assigned to the overlying [[Cañadón Calcáreo Formation]] by some authors. The members are typically composed of fluvial-lacustrine deposits consisting of sandstones and shales, with a limestone carbonate evaporitic sequence also being present in the lower of the two.

===Theropods===
During a campaign conducted in early 2021, remains of a large theropod dinosaur were found near the town of Las Chacritas. In 2020 a new fossil locality was found, named Cañadón de las Huellas due to the large number of sauropod, and probably theropod, footprints on one of the canyon walls. In the same locality in 2021, articulated remains where recovered and represent at least one sauropod and one large theropod.<ref name=EUSA>{{cite journal |last1=Gomez |first1=K.

This specimen shows strong [[Diplodocidae]] affinities, yet it has been considered either a derived non-neosauropodan eusauropod (having resemblance with ''[[Lapparentosaurus]]'' in some characters) or even a basal neosauropod ( also resembling with ''[[Haplocanthosaurus]]'')

==Plants==
According to a [[palynological]] study the dominant pollen was produced by the conifer families Cheirolepidiaceae (''Classopollis'') and Araucariaceae (mainly ''Araucariacites'' and ''Callialasporites''), suggesting that warm-temperate and relatively humid conditions under highly seasonal climate prevailed during the depositional times of the unit. The abundance of ''Botryococcus'' supports the presence of a shallow lake with probably saline conditions.<ref name=PalynA>{{cite journal |last1=Olivera |first1=D. E. |last2=Zavattieri |first2=A.
