Deva Vol. XIX - 2002 pp. 5 - 11 THE EUROPEAN UPPER CRETACEOUS CROCODILIAN FOSSIL RECORD ANGELA BUSCALIONI FRANCISCO ORTEGA Rezumat Fosile de crocodilieni din Cretacicul Superior European Date despre crocodilienii europeni se cunosc încă din 1860, totuşi, până acum nu s-a făcut o sinteză a acestora. Acesta este scopul lucrării noastre, alături de încadrarea crocodilienilor europeni într-un context filogenetic. Studiul asociaţiilor de crocodilieni din Cretacicul superior din Europa este crucial pentru înţelegerea istoriei evolutive a crocodililor moderni, dat fiind că în această perioadă au originea majoritatea membrilor din grupul Eusuchia. Localities of the crocodilian Upper Cretaceous European assemblage The knowledge of the European Upper Cretaceous crocodilian fauna has undergone two crucial events. The first one was the discoveries carried out by MATHERON and NOPCSA between 1860 and 1920. The second one is the reactivation of the Upper Cretaceous research as a consequence of the publication on the extraterrestrial hypothesis on the Cretaceous - Tertiary extinction by Alvarez et al in 1980. The synthesis between the old collections and the recent discoveries is unachieved at present. A great amount of work has, nonetheless, been done, comparing small isolated fragments and relating them to more complete material (VASSE, 1993, 1995; BUSCALIONI et al., 1997; BUSCALIONI & ORTEGA in press: BUSCALIONI et al., in prep). Moreover, the final part of this research should contemplate the necessity to place the European Upper Cretaceous crocodiles into a phylogenetic context. The study of the Upper Cretaceous crocodilian assemblage is crucial to understand the evolutionary history of modern crocodiles, since it was in this period that most of the early members of the crown group of the Eusuchia originated. All of the European Upper Cretaceous localities with crocodilian remains are Campanian or Maastrichtian in age, corresponding approximately to an interval of 18 million years. The biostratigraphic correlation of most of these localities needs a more detailed re-examination, and 5 www.mcdr.ro / www.cimec.ro there is currently a renewed interest in this issue (MULDER et al., 1998). Recently, the use of dinosaur eggshells has been suggested for biostratigraphical purposes in the southern France and Catalonia localities (VIANEY-LIAUD et al., 1994; VIANEY-LIAUD & LOPEZ MARTINEZ, 1997: GARCIA, 1998). LE LOEUFF (1991) listed the main group of localities that are representing sectors of the Campano- Maastrichtian outcrops in the Upper Cretaceous European archipelago. Among them, several areas have yielded crocodilian remains. The Ibero-Armorican area gathers localities from Portugal, Spain, and southern France. The faunal description of the Ibero-Armorican area at a global level has been carried out by BABINOT et al., 1983; BUFFETAUT, 1980, LE LOEUFF, 1992, and VASSE, 1993. Some partial revisions of the faunal Ibero-Armorican assemblages have also been carried out, for instance, references to crocodilian remains in the French localities of Fox- Amphoux by BROIN et al., (1980) and Champ Garimond (Sigé et al., 1997), and of Provence by Garcia (1998). Several revisions have been done for the Spanish localities of Villamitjana (BUSCALIONI et al., 1986), Armuña (BUSCALIONI & SANZ, 1987; ORTEGA & BUSCALIONI, 1992), Laño (ASTIBIA et al., 1990; BUSCALIONI & ORTEGA, in press) and Quintanilla del Coco (Pol et al., 1992). The Gosau beds at Muthmannsdorf, in Austria, represent the Apulian area (BUFFETAUT, 1979). The Vălioara fossil site mainly represents the Transylvanian area from the Haţeg Basin, in Romania. The Scandinavian area gathers localities from Sweden, Belgium and Netherlands. The crocodilian Upper Cretaceous genera A brief updated comment on the taxonomic status and on the phylogenetic position of the European Upper Cretaceous crocodiles is given below, including the distribution of their corresponding geographical areas: Ischyrochampsa (VASSE, 1995) is known from a mandible and a fragment of premaxillae and maxillae. It is the only known locality of Saint-Estève-Janson (Bouches-du-Rhône, France), although isolated teeth attributed to this genus were found in Capens (Département de l'Ariége) also upholds its presence in southern France. Ischyrochampsa has been proposed
