New sauropod trackways from the Middle Jurassic of Portugal
TL;DR: The Galinha tracksite as mentioned in this paper reveals a sequence of Bajocian-Bathonian limestones belonging to the Serra de Aire Formation (West-Central Portugal) and is one of the few sites in the world where Middle Jurassic sauropod dinosaur tracks can be found.

An Iberian stegosaurs paradise: The Villar del Arzobispo Formation (Tithonian–Berriasian) in Teruel (Spain)
TL;DR: A number of sites containing stegosaurian remains (bones and tracks) have been discovered in the Villar del Arzobispo Formation (Tithonian-Berriasian) in the Province of Teruel, Spain, mostly in the areas of El Castellar and Riodeva.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses and new data on the stratigraphic age of Aragosaurus demonstrate that basal macronarian sauropods were present in Europe at the end of the Late Jurassic, alongside more derived titanosauriforms.

A new European Late Jurassic pleurosternid (Testudines, Paracryptodira) and a new hypothesis of paracryptodiran phylogeny
TL;DR: The new phylogenetic proposal, and its analysis in view of stratigraphical distributions, shows that Baenidae was a clade of turtles only known in the Cretaceous and Palaeogene of the North American record but that Pleurosternidae and Compsemydidae were distributed both in North America and Europe.

A new specimen of the Cretaceous sauropod Tastavinsaurus sanzi from El Castellar (Teruel, Spain), and a phylogenetic analysis of the Laurasiformes
TL;DR: A new specimen of the sauropod Tastavinsaurus sanzi was found at the La Canaleta site (CT-19) at El Castellar (Teruel, Spain).
