A Google search suggests quite another location:
​​
Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park is a natural park in
the Alentejo and Algarve regions of south-central Portugal.

A geological manual -Page 625 - Google Books Result
https://books.google.com/books?id=qBc5AAAAMAAJ
Henry Thomas De La Beche - 1833 - ‎Geology
Oolitic rocks, of England, 314; of Normandy, 316 ; of the North of France,
ib.; ... 273 ; at Cussac, ib. ; of the Vicentine, 276 ; of the
supracretaceous blue marls of  . . .
On page 276 of *A Geological Manual*, De La Beche provides a long list of
fossils, including *Nummulites*.  So, this would be Paleogene, not
Cretaceous.

Kind regards,   Roger
