Abstract
Clays bearing plant cuticles were collected near Rubielos de Mora (Teruel, Spain) in levels belonging to the Escucha Formation (Albian). Plant remains are dominated by conifers: Brachyphyllum, Pagiophyllum, Frenelopsis, Class ostrobus, Agarhoxylon. Pseudocycas (Bennettitales) and Nehvizdya (Ginkgoale s) are mentioned for the first time in the Lower Cretaceous of Spain.
