abstract = {This paper presents the easternmost mineralogical and geochemical evidence of the 1755
Lisbon tsunami found in the Western Mediterranean. This multidisciplinary analysis of a sediment
core obtained in Gibraltar (southern Iberian Peninsula) has allowed us to differentiate a tsunamiite
from an old lagoon (The Inundation). This tsunamigenic layer has increased levels of calcite and
aragonite and higher concentrations of Ba and ferromagnesian elements in comparison with the
underlying lagoonal sediments of this core. This layer is also differentiated by its paleontological
record, with the introduction of marine species within this lagoon. The uppermost part of the core
includes a transition from swampy/marsh paleoenvironments to terrestrial scenarios, with a final
anthropogenic filling occurring during the last century},
