The fauna is dominated by one species, <em>Actinastraea ramulifera<\/em> (it is possible that the name has to be submitted to a revision). This shows that during the period of growth of the corals, the environment was not optimized for them. The dense growth of the branches suggests that there was a strong water movement, so the corals had to support each other.<br \/>\nThis site is visited on the tour \u00abCerro Grande\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the hill Cerro Grande, near Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo, we can visit a layer with fossilized branched corals in Upper Jurassic Limestones  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3536,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-geology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3571"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3573,"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3571\/revisions\/3573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geoloquium.eu\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
