Revisión sistemática y bioestratigrafía del género Alueva Sdzuy, 1961 (Ellipsocephalidae, Trilobita, Cámbrico).
Se revisa la sistemática del género Alueva Sdzuy, 1961 y de las tres especies incluidas en él: Alueva undulata Sdzuy, 1961, Alanisia hastata Sdzuy, 1958, y Strenuaeva sampelayoi moratrix Sdzuy, 1958, todas ellas definidas en la localidad zaragozana de Murero. Alueva venulosa Dean, 2005 se considera un sinónimo subjetivo más reciente de Protolenus dimarginatus Geyer, 1990. También se revisan los hallazgos de Alueva hastata en la Sierra de Córdoba, Cordillera Cantábrica y, posiblemente, los de las Montañas del Taurus (Turquía). Con los datos actuales, este género parece ser endémico de la Subprovincia Mediterránea. Alueva presenta una distribución muy breve, desde un punto de vista bioestrati…
Stranded jellyfish in the lowermost Cambrian (Corduban) of Spain
Ninety discoid structures of big size occurring on a bedding plane of Nemakit-Daldynian to Tommotian sandstones (i.e. Corduban in the Spanish scale of Cambrian stages) from south-western Spain are described. Cross-cutting relationships between discoid structures and associated trace fossils, as well as evidence for penecontemporaneous deformation of sediment laminae below the discoids, permit to interprete these structures as impressions of ancient, soft-bodied marine organisms. Taphonomic, biometric, and morphological studies suggest that they are outer moulds of both sides, subumbrellar and exumbrellar, of ancient jellyfish of hydrozoan coelenterates, whose canals resemble the modern genu…
150 years of the discovery of the Cambrian Lagerstätte of Murero (Cadenas Ibéricas, NE Spain).
The classical, lower and middle Cambrian Lagerstiitte of Murero (NE Spain) was first reported by the French geologist Edouard de Verneuil in 1862, and now it achieves 150 years of geological works. In this paper the main stratigraphical and palaeontological characteristics of the site are given. Murero is exceptional because the coexistence of both skeletal and soft - bodied groups along a continuous record of ca. 10 million years, which is subdivided into 14 trilobite biozones. The educational and social interest of the site is also highlighted.
Confirming Human Antiquity: Spain and the Beginnings of Prehistoric Archaeology
During his first visit to Spain in 1862, Louis Lartet together with Edouard de Verneuil and the Spanish mining engineer Casiano de Prado visited the San Isidro archeological site in Madrid. There they obtained a worked silex tool, which the former two then described and illustrated in the Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France. Three years later, Edouard Lartet together with Henry Christy and Hugh Falconer designed a project to extend the exploration in the field of prehistoric and archaeological works to the Iberian Peninsula. After Christy¿s death at the beginning of 1865, and Edouard¿s illness, it was Louis Lartet who undertook the research program of Prehistoric Archaeology South o…
El yacimiento Cámbrico de Murero (prov. de Zaragoza) ejemplo de convergencia entre ciencia y patrimonio
The classical, lower and middle Cambrian Lagerstätte of Murero was discovered in 1862, and now it achieves more than 150 years of geological and palaeontological works. In this paper we show briefly the history of the site research and the state of the knowledge on its stratigraphy and palaeontology together with the Biota of Murero. It has been recorded in Murero and several localities of the Iberian Chains where the Mesones Group crops out. The Biota of Murero is exceptional because the coexistence of both skeletal and soft-bodied fossils along a continuous record of circa 10 million years between the Bilbilian to lower Languedocian stages, that are equivalent to Stage 4 of Cambrian to Dr…
150 años del descubrimiento del yacimiento cámbrico de Murero (Cadenas Ibéricas, NE España).
The lower-middle Cambrian palaeontological site of Murero (Cadenas Ibéricas, NE Spain) is a classical locality of the Cambrian in Europe. The site was first reported by the French geologist Edouard de Verneuil in 1862, and now it achieves 150 years of geological works contributing to a better knowledge of the Cambrian Period. Murero is an exceptional Lagerstätte because the coexistence of both skeletal and soft-bodied groups along a continuous record of ca. 8 million years, which is subdivided into 14 trilobite zones. Murero was the first palaeontological site in Spain to obtain the highest protection figure (Bien de Interés Cultural, BIC) from the Spanish Administration in 1997. Since then…
