The Toconar Ravine (Barranco Toconar) is another place to find teruelite in the type locality for this variety of dolomite. It should be noted that in its head zone and on its left slope, a lateral ravine called Salobre Ravine (Barranco Salobre) empties, and it is sterile as far as teruelite is concerned. This ravine, and by extension the Barranco Toconar, should not be confused with the Salobral Ravine (Barranco del Salobral) mentioned in ancient literature. Said Barranco del Salobral corresponds to the Barranco del Nabo as it appears in modern maps, being Barranco del Salobral an old denomination.
The whole area of Toconar Ravine is easily accessible from a track that part of the main road from Teruel to Villalba Baja, at the height of the Alfambra River Bridge to the east, and rises through the ravine of La Laguna.
Geologically, the outcrops correspond with levels of Triassic age, corresponding to the Keuper facies.
El Barranco Toconar es otro lugar donde encontrar teruelita en la localidad tipo para esta variedad de dolomita. Hay que hacer notar que en su zona de cabecera y por su ladera izquierda, desemboca un barranco lateral denominado Barranco Salobre y es estéril en lo que se refiere a teruelita. No debe de confundirse este barranco, y por extensión el Barranco Toconar, con el Barranco del Salobral citado en la literatura antigua. Dicho Barranco del Salobral se corresponde con el Barranco del Nabo tal y como viene en los mapas modernos, siendo Barranco del Salobral una denominación antigua.
Toda la zona del Barranco Toconar es fácilmente accesible desde una pista que parte de la carretera principal de Teruel a Villalba Baja, a la altura del Puente del río Alfambra hacia el este y asciende por el barranco de La Laguna.
Geológicamente, los afloramientos se corresponden con niveles de edad Triásica, correspondientes a la facies de Keuper.
