MARIA LUISA CANALES is an academic who published a paper in 2009 entitled OSTRACODS FROM THE GLOBAL STRATOTYPE SECTION FOR THE BASE OF THE AALENIAN STAGE, JURASSIC AT FUENTEL. MARIA LUISA CANALES published this work as part of a team: ARIAS, CARMEN. Here is a description of this work: The Toarcian/Aalenian Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) have been recently placed in the Fuentelsaz section, northeastern Spain. This paper is part of a long-term project that attempts to describe for the first time the fossil ostracod assemblages present in the Toarcian-Aalenian boundary GSSP, and to assess their palaeobiogeographical significance. The study of the Late Toarcian-Early Aalenian Turmiel and Casinos formations at the Fuentelsaz section has produced a detailed stratigraphy and a large collection of stratigraphically constrained ostracod faunas. Twenty benthic ostracod species have been identified and for the first time described in Spain. Higher part of the Mactra Subzone, Late Toarcian, have yielded abundant ostracod faunas, including mostly species of the genera Praeschuleridea, Cytherelloidea and Kin.
