Tremp Formation

The Tremp Formation was defined and named in 1968 by Mey et al., just as the Tremp Basin after the Pre-Pyrenean town of Tremp.Rosell et al., 2013, p.19 The various subdivisions of the formation or alternatively called group, are named after the villages, rivers, canyons and hills in the basin.

The Tremp Formation is a marginally marine to fluvial to lacustrine and continental sedimentary unit with a thickness varying between {{convert|250|and|800|m|ft}}.Arribas et al., 1996, p.11 The formation is found in the Tremp-Graus Basin, a piggyback basin enclosed by the Sant Corneli anticline in the north, the Boixols Thrust in the northeast, the Montsec Thrust in the south and the Collegats Formation in the west.Bosch Lacalle, 2004, p.18 The Tremp-Graus Basin is bordering the Ainsa Basin to the west, and the Àger Basin to the south.Bosch Lacalle, 2004, p.23 The basin is subdivided into four synclinal areas, from east to west Vallcebre, Coll de Nargó, Tremp and Àger.Blanco et al., 2014, p.3 While in Benabarre, the Tremp Formation overlies the Arén Formation, in Fontllonga the formation rests on top of the Les Serres Limestone.López Martínez et al., 1996, p.63 The formation is partly laterally equivalent with the Arén Formation.Prieto Márquez et al., 2013, p.2 The Tremp Formation is stratigraphically overlain by the late Paleogene, locally called Ilerdiense, Àger Formation and the Alveolina Limestone,De Renzi, 1996, p.205 though in many parts of the Tremp Basin the formation is exposed and covered by alluvium.

The formation comprises several different lithologies, as sandstones, shales, limestones, marls, lignites, gypsum beds, conglomerates and siltstones have been registered.Arribas et al., 1996, p.17

The start age of the Tremp Formation has been established on the basis of the presence of Abathomphalus mayaroensis, a planktonic foraminiferan indicative of the latest Maastrichtian age of the formation. The lower section of the formation at the Elías site has been dated at 67.6 Ma,Puértolas et al., 2011, p.2 while the top of the Tremp Formation, in the western portion of the basin overlain by the Alveolina Limestone,Serra Kiel et al., 1994, p.276 named due to the abundance of Alveolina, is set at 56 Ma.Barnolas & Gil Peña, 2001, p.24

On the northern side of the axial zone of the Pyrenees, in the French sub-Pyrenean zone and Aquitaine Platform of the foreland basin bordering the mountain range, the time-equivalent stratigraphic units of the Tremp Formation are the Mas d'Azil Formation and Marnes d'Auzas Formation for the latest Maastrichtian, the Entonnoir Formation for the Danian and the Rieubach Group correlating with the Thanetian portion of the Tremp Formation.Ford et al., 1967, p.434

Studies performed in the 1990s described the Tremp Formation, also called Garumnian ({{langx|es|Garumniense de Tremp}}),Cuevas, 1992, p.97Arribas et al., 1996, p.10 as a group with a subdivision into:Cuevas, 1992, p.96

The Tremp Basin was formed in the northeastern corner of the Iberian plate, a microplate that existed as a separate tectonic block between the Eurasian and African plates since the Hercynian orogeny that formed the supercontinent Pangea. Progressive opening of the Atlantic Ocean between the Americas and at first Africa, later Iberia and finally Europe, caused large differential motions between these continents,Andeweg, 2002, Ch.1 p.1 with extensional tectonics starting in the Early Jurassic with the opening of the Neotethys ocean between southwestern Europe and Africa.Sibuet et al., 2004, p.3 During this period, evaporites were deposited in the rift basins,García Senz, 2002, p.264 later in the tectonic history becoming important décollement surfaces for the compressional movements.López Mir et al., 2014, p.15 The phase of extension continued into the Early Cretaceous when the Iberian plate started to move counterclockwise to converge with the Eurasian plate.Rushlow et al., 2013, p.844

Approximately from the late Berriasian to late Albian (120 to 100 Ma), the Iberian plate was an isolated island, separated from current southern France by a mostly shallow sea with a deeper pelagic channel in between the southwestern Eurasian and northeastern Iberian coasts. The present-day area of the Pyrenees with an area of {{convert|1964|km2|sqmi}} in those times was much larger due to the various episodes of compressional tectonic forces and resulting shortening afterwards. The Tremp Basin, alternatively called Organyà Basin, was the depocenter of sedimentation during the late Early Cretaceous, showing an estimated vertical sedimentary thickness of {{convert|4650|m|ft}} comprising mostly hemipelagic marls and limestones,García Senz, 2002, p.7 deposited in a back-arc basin setting with normal faults parallel to the Pyrenean axis,García Senz, 2002, p.257 and cross-cut by transverse faults, separating the various west-to-east minibasins. These minibasins showed a deepening trend from the Gulf of Biscay to the Mediterranean.Sibuet et al., 2004, p.14García Senz, 2002, p.31

At the end of formation of the back-arc basin, around 95 Ma, high temperature metamorphism developed as a result of crustal thinning synchronously or

immediately after the Albian to Cenomanian basin formation. Lower crustal granulitic rocks, as well as ultramafic upper mantle rocks (lherzolites) were emplaced along the prominent North Pyrenean Fault (NPF) crustal feature. The North Pyrenean Fault developed during the sinistral (left-lateral) displacement of the Iberian plate, which age is determined by the age of flysch pull-apart basins formed synchronously with the strike-slip movement along the NPF from Middle Albian to Early Cenomanian.Muñoz, 1992, p.238 This period is characterized by a local unconformity in the Tremp Basin,García Senz, 2002, p.105 while this is not registered farther to the west of the Pre-Pyrenean minibasins near Pont de Suert.García Senz, 2002, p.201

The previous phase was followed by a tectonically more quiet setting in the basins surrounding the slowly rising Pyrenees. Research published in 2014 has revealed a renewed phase of evaporitic deposition from the Coniacian to Santonian in the Cotiella Basin, west of the Tremp Basin.López Mir et al., 2014, p.14 The relative tectonic quiescence lasted until the late Santonian, approximately around 85 Ma, with other authors defining this moment at 83 Ma.Rosenbaum et al., 2002, p.124 At this time, continental subduction and back-arc basin inversion commenced, with the remainder of the Neotethys Ocean progressively disappearing. During this phase, sea floor spreading in the Bay of Biscay occurred, leading to a rotation of plate movements, observed more prominently in the eastern part of the Iberian plate, where convergence rates of {{convert|70|km|mi}} per million years have been noted.Rosenbaum et al., 2002, p.122 As is common in inverted tectonic regimes, the normal faults of the early Mesozoic were reactivated into reverse faults at the end of the Cretaceous and continuing into the Paleogene. The lithospheric subduction has not been interpreted from seismic reflection data, with the ECORS profile obtained in the late 1980s as primary example,Dinarès Turell et al, 1992, p.265 due to the large thickness and poor seismic resolution, but later analysis using tomography has identified this feature below the Pre-Pyrenean chain.Sibuet et al., 2004, p.12 The presence of lithospheric subduction is a common feature in other Alpine orogenic chains as the Alps and Himalayas.Muñoz, 1992, p.244

From the late Santonian to the late Maastrichtian,García Senz, 2002, p.285 on the different thrust sheets of the southward compressional Pre-Pyrenees, a series of piggyback basins were formed,Muñoz, 1992, p.241 one of which was the Tremp Basin.Dinarès Turell et al, 1992, p.267 The bathymetry of these basins show a general deepening towards the west, with major turbidite deposition in the Ainsa Basin and farther west. Subsequent ongoing inversion of the basins show a similar trend, with compressional phases becoming younger from east to west. While the onlap and erosion in the Clamosa area started in the early Eocene, around 49 Ma, the western portion experienced this phase terminating around the end of the Eocene, approximately at 35 Ma.Barnolas & Gil Peña, 2001, p.31 In the Jaca Basin, to the west of the Ainsa and Tremp Basins, during the Middle Eocene, flysch was deposited in an underfilled basin setting,Teixell et al., 2016, p.262 while in the western Tremp Basin thick conglomerates, known as the Collegats Formation, were deposited, sourced by the various thrust sheets in the hinterland.Nijman, 1998, p.140

The Boixols–Cotiella thrust sheet was emplaced since the Late Cretaceous, placing late Santonian rocks on top of the northernmost Tremp Formation, found in the subsurface underneath the Sant Corneli anticline. This was followed by the tectonic movement of the Montsec–Peña Montañesa thrust sheet during the Early Eocene and the western Sierras Exteriores thrust sheet from the Mid-Eocene to Early Miocene.Fernández et al., 2012, p.545 The dating of the Montsec Thrust has been established on the basis of the stratigraphies of the overlying hanging wall (Triassic to Cretaceous) onto the Lutetian (locally called Cuisian) fluvial sediments of the Àger Basin to the south of the Montsec.Teixell & Muñoz, 2000, p.257Fernández et al., 2012, p.548 These tectonic movements are indicative of the main uplift phase of the Pyrenees.

The involvement of evaporites as décollement surfaces in compressional tectonic regimes is a widespread phenomenon on Earth. The evaporites, mainly salt but also gypsum, function as mobile ductile surfaces along which thrust faults can move. Global examples of halokinesis in compressional inverted tectonic regimes include the south Viking Graben, and Central Graben in the North Sea,Ten Veen et al., 2012, p.460 offshore Tunisia,Jaillard et al., 2017, p.232 the Zagros Mountains of Iraq and Iran,Khadivi, 2010, p.56Muñoz et al., 2017, p.16 northern Carpathians in Poland,Krzywiec & Sergés, 2006, p.81 western,FGarcía & Jiménez, 2016, p.31 and eastern Colombian, along the Eastern Frontal Fault System of the Eastern Ranges of the Andes,Parravano et al., 2015, p.25 the Al Hajar Mountains of Oman,Claringbould et al., 2011, p.1 Dnieper-Donets Basin in Ukraine,Brown et al., 2010, p.80 the Sivas Basin in Turkey,Legeay et al., 2017, p.20 the Kohat-Potwar fold and thrust belt of Pakistan,Ghani et al., 2017, p.38 the Flinders Ranges in South Australia,Backé et al., 2010, p.59 during the Eurekan orogeny in the Sverdrup Basin of northeastern Canada and western Greenland,López Mir et al., 2017, p.110 and many more.[http://homepage.ufp.pt/biblioteca/SaltTectonicsGlossary/WebGlossarySaltTectonics/Pages/PageS.html#SaltBasins Salt Basins] - Carlos Cramez - Universidade Fernando Pessoa

In the western Cotiella Basin, salt inflation and withdrawal played a major role in the differential sedimentary thicknesses, facies changes and tectonic movements.López Mir et al., 2014, p.12

After the Middle Eocene, thick conglomerates were deposited in the western Tremp Basin and the thrust sheets reached their maximum displacement, this led to a shift of the depocenter from the Pre-Pyrenees towards the Ebro Basin.Nijman, 1998, p.138 Paleomagnetic data show that the Iberian plate went through another phase of counterclockwise rotation, though not as fast as in the Santonian. Between 25 and 20 Ma, in the late Oligocene and early Miocene, a rotation of 7 degrees has been noted.Rosenbaum et al., 2002, p.121 This phase of rotation correlated with the thrusting in the westernmost areas of the southern Pre-Pyrenees, the Sierras Marginales, leading to continental conditions in that area from the early Miocene (Burdigalian) onwards.Millán Garrido et al., 2000, p.294

File:Tremp Formation - Depositional Model.jpg

The depositional environment of the Tremp Formation varies between continental, lacustrine, fluvial, and marginally marine (estuarine to deltaic and coastal). The continental deposits in the east of the basin have been interpreted as the distal part of alluvial fans, while the presence of cyanobacteria Girvanella in the lacustrine limestones indicates variability in salinity in the lacustrine areas and a possible lateral relation with transitional environments. The presence of great quantities of the fungus Microcodium indicates traces of rootlets. The biochemical data, based on C and O isotope analysis could indicate a rise in temperature, an increase in evaporation and a higher production of plant material at the transition of Maastrichtian and Paleocene.López Martínez et al., 1996, p.65 The top of the Tremp Formation is close to the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, which could explain the relative lack of diversity in mammal genera.

Four phases in the depositional history of the Tremp Formation are noted:Rosell et al., 2001, pp.54-55

1. Formation of an estuarine regime near the end of a Cretaceous regression in the Pyrenean basins, characterized by coastal plains where thick clays were deposited, cut by sporadic fluvial channels. At the margins of the basin, swampy conditions existed with sedimentation of carbonates. In these zones, the last dinosaurs inhabiting the area before the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary left their marks in tracks, eggs and bones. These areas were accompanied by marshes, as evidenced by the many plant remains that produced the lignite deposits found in the lower part of the Tremp Formation. During this first phase in the sedimentary sequence of the formation, the Montsec was already a slightly elevated area in the south and along the submerged slopes of that hill, lacustrine limestones were deposited.
2. At the end of the Cretaceous, a geologically sudden drop of sea level happened, giving rise to a wide fluvial-dominated basin. In this environment, river channels deposited sandstones and abundant overbank clays with numerous paleosols in the basin. On the southern side of the rising Montsec, the Àger Basin, a similar fluvial system developed with a far more coarse-grained sandy character than in its northern counterpart around Tremp. The paleocurrents in the Àger Basin were towards the north and northwest.Gómez, 2015, p.9 The enclosed continental basin turned into a more coastal environment at a transgressional phase with smaller channels where oncolites were laid down. The river systems on both sides of the Montsec were sourced by the easternmost parts of the present Pyrenees, with the Empordà High as provenance area. This east-to-west fluvial system, contrary to the present-day west–east flowing direction of the Ebro Basin, persisted until the Late Eocene. The uppermost unit of the Maastrichtian sequence, the coarse-grained Reptile Sandstone, has been interpreted as a fast-flowing braided river channel.
3. The start of the Paleocene was marked by a more tranquil deposition of lacustrine character. It has been hypothesized that the Alpine orogeny during this phase was less active and/or a regional rise in sea level allowed the basin to be flooded. During this phase, the limestones of Vallcebre and its lateral equivalents were deposited in the lake.
4. A renewed phase of tectonic activity reactivated the fluvial to alluvial sedimentation, with abundant conglomerates and conglomeratic sandstones as a result. The provenance area for these uppermost sections of the Tremp Formation were first interpreted as the presently high mountains of the axial zone of the Pyrenees, at that time a forming orogen. Detailed provenance analysis published in 2015 by Gómez et al. however shows that the Àger basin was fed from the south (Prades area) and the Cadí-Vallcebre area was fed from the southeast (Montseny area), both areas belonging to the Ebro Massif. The Pyrenean basement (axial zone) was not a source area during the sedimentation of the Tremp Formation.Gómez et al., 2015, p.12 The latest phase of depositional evolution is noted in a wider area in the Pre-Pyrenees and to the south in the Ebro Basin, that began its formation during the Eocene, building up to its present shape in Oligocene and Miocene times.

The Tremp Formation spans the latest stage of the Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) and the earliest stages of the Paleocene (Danian and Thanetian). This has made the formation one of a few European unique localities to study the K/T boundary. In the Tremp Basin, the boundary is registered at Coll de Nargó, Isona and Fontllonga and established on the basis of paleomagnetism and a strong decrease of ∂¹³C and ∂¹⁸O isotopes.López Martínez et al., 1996, p.64 The typical iridium layer, found in other sites where the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary has been noted, as Gubbio in Italy and Caravaca in Spain,Meléndez & Molina, 2008, p.108 has not been registered in the Tremp Formation.Meléndez & Molina, 2008, pp.112-113

File:Tremp Formation - La Posa - Ichnofossil.jpg

The Tremp Formation provided many fossilized dinosaur eggs.[http://www.inquisitr.com/576006/hundreds-of-dinosaur-fossil-eggs-found-in-spain/ Hundreds of dinosaur eggs found in Spain] - Inquisitr.com The dinosaur eggs of Basturs are contained in the formation bordering the Arén Formation and the area where eggs are found stretches out for {{convert|6000|m2|sqft}}. A great number of nests are visible as well as numerous fragments of egg shells. The presence of wave ripples indicates a beach-like environment where dinosaurs laid their eggs for a long time. The eggs are subcircular with diameters of approximately {{convert|20|cm|in}} and egg shell thicknesses between {{convert|1.5|and|2|mm}}. Many eggs are found in groups of between four and seven gatherings, indicating the in situ preservation of the nests.Bosch Lacalle, 2004, p.44

Also, remains of several genera of dinosaurs are described from the Tremp Formation.Weishampel et al., 2004, pp.588-593 The Tremp and underlying Arén Formations are the richest sites for dinosaur fossils in the Pyrenees,Canudo et al., 2000, p.340 with only at Basturs more than 1000 bone fragments found.[http://www.parc-cretaci.com/en/paleontologia.php Paleontology - Parc Cretaci - Museu de la Conca Dellà] The dinosaur paleofauna has been compared to Hațeg in Romania, famous for the pterosaur Hatzegopteryx named after the location.Canudo et al., 2000, p.341 Furthermore, a rich variety of other reptiles, among which the new species and youngest fossil record of the Cretaceous turtle Polysternon; Polysternon isonae,Marmi et al., 2012, p.133 as well as amphibians, lizards, fish,López Martínez et al., 2001, p.53 and mammals, for example the earliest Paleocene multituberculate Hainina pyrenaica,Peláez Campomanes et al., 2000, p.702 have been registered, showing a unique faunal assemblage for the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, not found elsewhere in Europe.López Martínez & Peláez Campomanes, 1999, p.694

The holes found on the dip slope at Ermita La Posa were initially interpreted as tracks produced by sauropod dinosaurs. Later investigations and interpretations of the depositional environment of the Maastrichtian; the coastal origin of the trackbed with plenty of marine invertebrates, have led researchers to interpret part of the ichnofossils as feeding traces of rays in the intertidal zones. During their feeding activity, the rays produce holes in the top sedimentary layers, when they feed on marine invertebrates buried in the top sediment.

The Reptile Sandstone, when identified as a separate unit, was called as such because of the great abundance of fossil chelonid turtles,Blanco et al., 2015, p.149 Bothremydidae, crocodile teeth, theropod limbs,Blanco et al., 2015, p.152 and hadrosaur femurs.Blanco et al., 2015, p.154

File:Underside of a clutch of Megaloolithus siruguei at Pinyes locality - Tremp Formation.jpg

A detailed analysis of the nesting sites of Coll de Nargó, at the Pinyes locality, has been performed in 2010 by Vilat et al. The eggs were found in the lower portion of the Lower Red Garumnian, with local facies comprising calcareous silty mudstones, very fine to fine-grained sand bodies, and medium to coarse-grained sandstones. The rocks, in a {{convert|36|m|ft}} thick interval,Vilat et al., 2010, p.3 are interpreted as sedimentary deposits of a fluvial environment located some distance away from an active stream channel.Vilat et al., 2010, p.2

Most eggs exposed at the Pinyes locality were incompletely preserved because of recent erosion; however, excavation occasionally revealed relatively intact specimens in the subsurface. Some eggs exposed in cross-section revealed numerous eggshell fragments, predominantly oriented concave up within the mudstone matrix that filled the egg interior. Analysis of the eggshells at Pinyes provided a range of {{convert|2.23|to|2.91|mm|in}} in shell thickness, with a mean range of {{convert|2.40|to|2.67|mm|in}}. Radial thin sections and SEM images of the eggshells showed a single structural layer of calcite. The eggshell surfaces displayed abundant elliptical pore openings that varied from 65 to 120 microns in width.

File:Late Cretaceous paleogeography and distribution of titanosaur nesting sites.jpg

The mudstones surrounding the eggs displayed extensive bioturbation, minor faults, and penetrative foliation with a northeast–southwest orientation. Eggshell fragments were often displaced and overlap one another, and the eggs exhibited significant deformation due to compression. Most eggs mapped in the field showed a long axis direction 044, thus having a general northeast–southwest orientation, which coincides with regional stress fields resulting from tectonic compression.Vilat et al., 2010, p.4

The eggs, in clusters or "clutches" of up to 28 individual eggs, were described as Megaloolithus siruguei, an oospecies well documented from various localities in northern Catalonia and southern France. The description was done on the basis of egg size, shape, eggshell microstructure, tuberculate ornamentation, and the presence of transversal canals in a tubocanaliculate pore system, an unequivocal feature of this oospecies. The egg horizons within the Tremp Formation were continuous before the tectonic inversion phase of the basin. The compressional tectonic regime produced structural deformation of the egg-bearing strata. The dip of the beds in the mountainous region can contribute to misinterpretation of reproductive behavior, hence the analysis of the eggs in combination with tectonic stresses gives a more complete picture of the shapes of the eggs.Vilat et al., 2010, p.7

File:Interpretation of nest excavation and egg laying by a titanosaur.jpg

An interpretation of the nest excavation at Pinyes was made and compared to other nesting sites of sauropods found all over the world, in particular in the Aix Basin of southern France, the Allen and Anacleto Formations of Argentina, and the Lameta Formation of India. The nest sizes and shapes of Pinyes show great similarities with the other analyzed sites.Vilat et al., 2010, p.11 Research conducted in 2015 by Hechenleitner et al. include a comparison with the Cretaceous Sanpetru Formation of Hațeg paleo-island in Romania, the Los Llanos Formation at {{ill|Sanagasta geological park|es|Parque geológico Sanagasta}} in Argentina, and the Boseong Formation of the Gyeongsang Basin in South Korea.Hechenleitner et al., 2015, p.6

A common nest size of 25 eggs has been suggested for the Pinyes locality. Small egg clusters that display linear or grouped egg arrangements reported at Pinyes and other localities likely reflect recent erosion. The distinct clutch geometry reported at Pinyes and other megaloolithid localities worldwide, strongly suggests a common reproductive behavior that resulted from the use of the hind foot for scratch-digging during nest excavation.Vilat et al., 2010, p.12 Due to their size and weight, the titanosaurs could not heat the eggs by direct body contact, so must have relied on external environmental heat for incubating their eggs.Hechenleitner et al., 2015, p.16 However, modern megapode birds as the maleo (Macrocephalon maleo), the Moluccan megapode (Eulipoa wallacei) and scrubfowls (Megapodius spp.) in Southeast Asia and Australia, burrow their eggs using the heat in the top soil to incubate them and provide protection from predators.Hechenleitner et al., 2015, p.17 The egg spatial distribution, in small clusters linearly to compactly grouped, but contained in round shaped areas of up to {{convert|2.3|m|ft}} would either support burrow- or mound-nesting at Pinyes.Hechenleitner et al., 2015, p.19

File:Hadrosaur tracks.png

Over 45 fossil localities yielded hadrosaurid fossils in the Lower Red Garumnian of the eastern Tremp Syncline. Various new specimens of indeterminate Lambeosaurinae were described in 2013 by Prieto Márquez et al.Prieto Márquez et al., 2013, pp.22-34 Furthermore, many hadrosaur ichnofossils have been found in the Tremp Formation and were analyzed in great detail by Vila et al. in 2013. The most abundant track types in fluvial settings are the pedal prints of hadrosaurs, while titanosaur ichnofossils and a single theropod track were found in lagoonal environments.Vila et al., 2013, p.5 The authors concluded:Vila et al., 2013, pp.12-14

1. The fluvial lower red unit of the Tremp Formation exhibits meandering and braided fluvial systems with favorable conditions for track production and preservation, like those of North America and Asia.
2. The dinosaurs mainly produced the tracks on the floodplain, within the channels, and on and within crevasse splay deposits in low water stage conditions, and the footprints were infilled by sands during high water stage (stream reactivation).
3. The track record is composed of abundant hadrosaur and scarce sauropod and theropod tracks. The hadrosaur tracks are significantly smaller in size but morphologically similar to comparable records in North America and Asia. They are attributable to the ichnogenus Hadrosauropodus.
4. A rich track succession composed of more than 40 distinct track levels indicates that hadrosaur footprints are found above the early Maastrichtian–late Maastrichtian boundary and most noticeably in the late Maastrichtian, with tracks occurring abundantly in the Mesozoic part of the C29r magnetochron, during the last 300,000 years of the Cretaceous.
5. The occurrence of hadrosaur tracks in the Ibero-Armorican island seems to be characteristic of the late Maastrichtian time interval and thus they are important biochronostratigraphic markers in the faunal successions of the Late Cretaceous in southwestern Europe.

Every year, over 800 geologists visit El Pallars Jussà and more than 1500 university students from all over Europe come to the Tremp-Graus Basin to carry out their geological fieldwork. The basin is also regarded by petroleum companies as a perfect place to study the interplay of tectonic movements with the different types of lithologies. The Museu Comarcal de Ciències Naturals ("Local District Natural Science Museum") in Tremp, built attached to the Torre de Soldevila in the center of town, is a popular destination for school visits. It houses a permanent fossil exhibition with a wide variety of remains, ranging from dinosaurs to fossilized invertebrates such as corals, bivalves, gastropods, and more.[http://www.pallarsjussa.net/en/cultural-heritage/epicentre-visitors-center Museu Comarcal de Ciències Naturals de Tremp]

The Museu de la Conca Dellà of Isona houses replicas of bone remains, restorations of dinosaurs and an authentic nest of eggs,[http://www.parc-cretaci.com/en/ Parc Cretaci - Museu de la Conca Dellà] left behind by the last dinosaurs to have lived in the valley during the Cretaceous period. The museum also contains numerous other archaeological remains from the Roman settlement of Isona. In recent years, the Consell Comarcal (Regional Council) has promoted several new initiatives, including the creation of a geological program especially adapted to local schools and a series of guided visits to the main archaeological sites of the region.[http://www.lleidatur.com/pic/pdf/aralleida33/jussa.pdf El Pallars Jussà, a geological paradise]

The unique paleoenvironment, well-exposed geology, and importance as national heritage have sparked proposals to designate the Tremp Formation and its region as a protected geological site of interest, much like the Aliaga geological park and others in Spain. After having been filed as a candidate since 2016, the Tremp Basin and surrounding areas as El Pallars Jussà, Baix Pallars to Pallars Sobirà, Coll de Nargó to l'Alt Urgell, Vilanova de Meià, Camarasa and Àger to the Noguera were included as a UNESCO Global Geopark,[http://www.projectegeoparctrempmontsec.com/en/ Geoparc Mundial de la UNESCO Conca de Tremp-Montsec] and included in the Global Geoparks Network.[http://www.projectegeoparctrempmontsec.com/en/2017/09/12/the-aspiring-geopark-conca-de-tremp-montsec-attend-the-14th-european-geoparks-network-conference/ Global Geoparks UNESCO conference] On April 17, 2018, UNESCO accepted the proposal and designated the site as Conca de Tremp-Montsec Global Geopark, stating:

"This area is internationally recognized as a natural laboratory for sedimentology, tectonics, external geodynamics, palaeontology, ore deposits and pedology. In addition, other natural and cultural heritage is also remarkable including astronomy and archaeological sites."
