This scene takes place at Las Hoyas Wetland (Cuenca, Spain) and features one of our (Spanish) dinosaurs, Pelecanimimus polyodon, a couple in fact, male and female with apparent sexual dimorphism. In addition to Pelecanimimus, the scene shows some more flora and fauna, the latter endemic to the Iberian Peninsula: the tree fern Weichselia reticulata (background), the conifer Frenelopsis ugnaensis, the albanerpetontid amphibian Celtedens ibericus (captured by the female Pelecanimimus) and several enanthiornitid birds (Eoalulavis hoyasi and Concornis lacustris).
The site of Las Hoyas, located in Cuenca (Spain) and dating back from the Lower Cretaceous (Barremian stage, 129-125 million years) is considered a Konservat-Lagestätte due to its diversity and the outstanding preservation of its fossils.
