The Galve region of northeastern Spain is a productive area full of fossil sites. It is well known for its faunal assemblage comprising of dinosaurs, notably the sauropods and mammals. This region is also noted for its lissamphibians, lizards and turtles, as well as diverse multituberculates, dryolestoids, and spalacotheriids. Spanish paleontologists have worked this site for years, including José Ignacio Canudo, José Luis Barco, Gloria Cuenca-Bescós, and José Ignacio Ruiz-Omeñaca.

| - The Galve region of northeastern Spain is a productive area full of fossil sites. It is well known for its faunal assemblage comprising of dinosaurs, notably the sauropods and mammals. This region is also noted for its lissamphibians, lizards and turtles, as well as diverse multituberculates, dryolestoids, and spalacotheriids. Spanish paleontologists have worked this site for years, including José Ignacio Canudo, José Luis Barco, Gloria Cuenca-Bescós, and José Ignacio Ruiz-Omeñaca. The Galve region sediments date back to the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous, with five formations ranging in age from Tithonian to Aptian listed below:
* Higueruelas Formation (Tithonian)
* Villar del Arzobispo Formation (upper Tithonian-middle Berriasian)
* El Castellar Formation (upper Hauterivian)
* Camarillas Formation (lower Barremian)
* Artoles Formation (upper Barremian-lower Aptian)
