Resumen
Important sites of direct and indirect dinosaur fossils can see in the Galve area. This paper shows the sauropod footprint structures found in a new ichnite outcrop in the Cabezo de San Cristobal. The tracksite is situtated in a sandstone of the Camarillas Formation (lower Barremian). It is the first time of the sauropod footprints are described in this Formation and therefore the latest from the Teruel province. In the mostly prints, the shaft base is a dead zone composed by a broken fragment of the sandstone level intruded several decimetres in deeper argillaceous sediments. Four of the five sauropod tracksites from Galve were made in a moment of waterlogged sediment in agreement with the cautious dinosaurs hypothesis.
