Right on the border between the municipalities of Tordelrábano and Paredes de Sigüenza is the Place of Geological Interest of Los Arroturos. It is an outcrop of Triassic limestones, of Muschelkalk facies, in which dinosaur footprints and other large organisms of the time (icnites) can be seen. Although the interest is more palaeontological and paleoclimatic, it is also possible to find fragments of fossilized bones in the area.
