The discovery of two hadrosaur fragments (maxilla and 
quadrate) in marine sediments of the end of the 
Cretaceous (uppermost Maastrichtian) is reported. 
Although this type of taphocoenosis is not exceptional 
for continental organisms, its situation at approximately 
1 m under the iridium zone of the K/T boundary deserves 
to be emphasized.
