Zusammenfassung

The discovery of the Laran˜e (La Rioja, Spain) ichnological site provides the first outcrop pterosaur footprints in the Tera Group of the Cameros Basin. The footprint have characteristics similar to some of those already known in the Oncala Group, suggesting that possibly pterosaurs, which lived in this area during the deposition of the Tithonian– Berriasian sequences, were very similar. In this case, the footprints, assigned to Pteraichnus-like ichnogenus, are perfectly related to with those of morphotype A of the Los Tormos site (Soria) located in sediments of the Oncala Group.
