A new locality of Late Cretaceous (probably Early Maastrichtian) age near Cruzy (Hérault, southern France) has yielded a varied vertebrate assemblage consisting of lepisosteid fish, albanerpetontid and anuran amphibians, pleurodiran and cryptodiran turtles, squamates (including varanoids), mesosuchian and eusuchian crocodilians, dinosaurs (abelisaurids, dromaeosaurids, titanosaurids and Rhabdodon) and enantiornithine birds. This fauna provides new evidence about the composition of Late Cretaceous European ecosystems.
