Basic information
Sample name: Corral de Lobato
Reference: D. Sanz-Pérez, M. Hérnandez Fernández, M. B. Muñoz-García, P. Pérez-Dios, J. Morales, and L. Domingo. 2020. Palaeoecological and palaeoenviromental reconstruction of the upper Miocene vertebrate karstic site of Corral de Lobato, central-eastern Spain.

Geography
Country: Spain
State: Guadalajara
Coordinate: 40° 49' 50" N, 1° 51' 50" W
Coordinate basis: estimated from map
Time interval: Late Miocene
Zone: MN13
Ma: 6.9
Age basis: zone
Geography comments: "near the town of Molina de Aragón" in Guadalajara
coordinate based on Fig. 2C
correlated with the "base of the MN13" or "at the boundary between MN12 and MN13" by comparison with Mont Leberon, and therefore believed to be 7.1 Ma; however, the boundary is actually at 6.965 Ma according to Ezquerro et al. (2022), so I have entered an estimate of 6.9 Ma

Environment
Lithology: breccia
Habitat comments: "The sediments, where the remains of medium- and large-sized mammals were found... comprise a heterogeneous karst infill including bone cemented breccia and other deposits... The bone breccia is thin, on the order of decimetres"
"We interpreted that this unit was deposited in a fluvial-lacustrine environment"
there is no discussion of whether the deposit might represent a pitfall trap
