Barremian
The Barremian is an age in the geologic timescale (or a chronostratigraphic stage) between 125.77 Ma (million years ago) and 121.4 ± 1.0 Ma (Historically, this stage was placed at 129.4 million to approximately 125 million years ago) It is a subdivision of the Early Cretaceous Epoch (or Lower Cretaceous Series).
Camarillas Formation
The Camarillas Formation is a geological formation in the Teruel Province of Aragón, Spain whose strata date back to the Early Cretaceous (Barremian stage). Loxaulax and Camarillas Formation are Cretaceous Spain.

Cretaceous
The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).
Dinosaur
Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.
Early Cretaceous
The Early Cretaceous (geochronological name) or the Lower Cretaceous (chronostratigraphic name) is the earlier or lower of the two major divisions of the Cretaceous.
See Loxaulax and Early Cretaceous
Eobaataridae
Eobaataridae is a family of fossil mammals within the order Multituberculata. Loxaulax and Eobaataridae are multituberculates.
Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
Galve, Teruel
Galve is a municipality located in the province of Teruel, Aragon, Spain.
See Loxaulax and Galve, Teruel
Hastings
Hastings is a seaside town and borough in East Sussex on the south coast of England, east of Lewes and south east of London.
Holotype
A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.
Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight (/waɪt/ ''WYTE'') is an island, English county and unitary authority in the English Channel, off the coast of Hampshire, across the Solent.
See Loxaulax and Isle of Wight
Mammal
A mammal is a vertebrate animal of the class Mammalia.
Molar (tooth)
The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth.
See Loxaulax and Molar (tooth)
Multituberculata
Multituberculata (commonly known as multituberculates, named for the multiple tubercles of their teeth) is an extinct order of rodent-like mammals with a fossil record spanning over 130 million years. Loxaulax and multituberculata are multituberculates.
See Loxaulax and Multituberculata
Plagiaulacida
Plagiaulacida is a group of extinct multituberculate mammals. Loxaulax and Plagiaulacida are multituberculates.
See Loxaulax and Plagiaulacida
Stratum
In geology and related fields, a stratum (strata) is a layer of rock or sediment characterized by certain lithologic properties or attributes that distinguish it from adjacent layers from which it is separated by visible surfaces known as either bedding surfaces or bedding planes.
Valanginian
In the geologic timescale, the Valanginian is an age or stage of the Early or Lower Cretaceous.
Wadhurst Clay Formation
The Wadhurst Clay Formation is a geological unit which forms part of the Wealden Group and the middle part of the now unofficial Hastings Beds.
See Loxaulax and Wadhurst Clay Formation
Wessex Formation
The Wessex Formation is a fossil-rich English geological formation that dates from the Berriasian to Barremian stages of the Early Cretaceous. Loxaulax and Wessex Formation are Cretaceous England.
