A new miocene–pliocene ichnotaxon for vermetid anchoring bioerosion structures
(Frontiers Media, 2022)A revision of Renichnus arcuatus Mayoral, 1987, the vermetid attachment etching trace fossil (fixichnia), is presented here with an emended diagnosis. Renichnus arcuatus should be used only for nested reniform ... -
Aurochs roamed along the SW coast of Andalusia (Spain) during Late Pleistocene
(Springer, 2022)In the Iberian Peninsula the fossil record of artiodactyls spans over 53 million years. During the Pleistocene, wild cattle species such as Bison and especially Bos became common. In Late Pleistocene, the aurochs (Bos ... -
Faunal evidence of the 1755 Lisbon Tsunami in Gibraltar (S Iberian Peninsula)
(Elsevier, 2022)This paper analyzes the first systematic faunal record of the 1755 Lisbon tsunami in the Mediterranean. On the basis of sedimentological and paleontological features, the sedimentary record of a core collected in Gibraltar ... -
First tracks of newborn straight‑tusked elephants (Palaeoloxodon antiquus)
(Nature Research, 2021)Tracks and trackways of newborns, calves and juveniles attributed to straight-tusked elephants were found in the MIS 5 site (Upper Pleistocene) known as the Matalascañas Trampled Surface (MTS) at Huelva, SW Spain. Evidence ... -
Miocene-Holocene paleoenvironmental changes in the Tinto River estuary (SW Spain) evidenced by sedimentology, geochemistry and fauna
(2022)This paper investigates the paleoenvironmental evolution of a long core extracted in a small cove located in the Tinto-Odiel estuary (SW Spain). The inferred reconstruction is supported by sedimentological, geochemical, ... -
New dating of the Matalascañas footprints provides new evidence of the Middle Pleistocene (MIS 9-8) hominin paleoecology in southern Europe
(Nature Research, 2022)Hominin footprints were recently discovered at Matalascañas (Huelva; South of Iberian Peninsula). They were dated thanks to a previous study in deposits of the Asperillo cliff to 106 ± 19 ka, Upper Pleistocene, making ... -
On Callavia (Trilobita) from the Cambrian Series 2 of Iberia with systematic status of the genus
(Cambridge University Press, 2021)Olenellid trilobites from the lower Cambrian of the Iberian Peninsula are very scarce and poorly studied, making them difficult to compare with defined species and to include in biostratigraphic and paleobiogeographic ... -
REE Geochemistry of Neogene–Holocene Sediments of La Fontanilla Cove (Tinto Estuary, SW Spain)
(MDPI, 2022)The Tinto and Odiel rivers (SW Spain) drain from a vast sulfide mining district and join at a 20-km-long estuary that enters the Atlantic Ocean. In this work, the contents of rare earth elements (REE) and fractionation ... -
The early/middle Eocene transition at the Ésera valley (South- Central Pyrenees): Implications in Shallow Benthic Zones (SBZ)
(Universitat de Barcelona, 2022-07-27)An integrated study including magnetostratigraphy, larger benthic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy is presented herein. This work was performed in shallow marine siliciclastics rich in larger ... -
The Eocene carbonate platforms of the Ghomaride Domain (Internal Rif Zone, N Morocco): a segment of the westernmost Tethys
(Elsevier, 2023-05)The Eocene platform deposits in the Moroccan Ghomarides have been studied. These marine carbonate platforms were located in the westernmost Tethys approximately 30°N and 0°–10°W during the Cuisian to Bartonian. The study ...
