Sierra del Colmenar 1A, a new late Messinian (Late Miocene) locality in the Bajo Segura Basin (SE Spain): biostratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental im…
2017
In this paper, we have studied a new micromammal site from the Sierra del Colmenar section (Elche, SE Spain), named Sierra del Colmenar 1A (SCO-1A), representing the uppermost levels of Messinian age of the Bajo Segura Basin. The sedimentary context of this locality corresponds to a costal lagoon with marine influence. The fossil site has yielded remains of Apodemus aff. gorafensis, Paraethomys meini, Apocricetus alberti, Occitanomys alcalai, Ruscinomys sp., Eliomys cf. truci, Muscardinus sp., Parasorex ibericus, Prolagus michauxi and Soricidae indet. Based on this assemblage, we propose a Late Miocene age (MN13) for the locality SCO-1A, matching the previously inferred age for the stratigr…
Early Pliocene continental vertebrate fauna at Puerto de la Cadena (SE Spain) and its bearing on the marine-continental correlation of the Late Neoge…
2017
In this paper, we synthesize sedimentological, magnetostratigraphic and paleontological data from the continental vertebrate site of Puerto de la Cadena (Murcia, SE Spain), in order to clarify its age. The study site is located on the northern edge of the Carrascoy mountain range, in the upper part of the Cigarrón Unit. The end-Messinian discontinuity has been detected at the base of this unit, which indicates it has an early Pliocene age. Abundant remains of small and large vertebrates, including rodents, lagomorphs, primates, carnivorans, perissodactyls, artiodactyls, proboscideans, testudines, squamats, and crocodiles, have been found in this area. Some of these elements are of African o…
The Messinian stromatolites of the Sierra del Colmenar (Western Mediterranean): facies characterization and sedimentological interpretation
2018
A representative outcrop of the Messinian stromatolites belonging to the Terminal Carbonate Complex unit, from the northern sector of the Bajo Segura basin (Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo section, Sierra del Colmenar, SE Spain) has been studied. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the architecture, external morphology, and internal morphology in order to reconstruct the environmental and palaeoecological conditions for their growth. The stromatolites macrostructure consists of a continuously doming type morphology (build up and sheets areas).These developed close to the coast and acted as a palaeogeographic barrier, reducing physical stress, channeling the erosive effect of water and …
Los mamíferos del Mioceno Inferior de la Cuenca de Ribesalbes-Alcora (Castelló, España)
2017
Objetivos El propósito principal de esta tesis es el estudio taxonómico, paleoecológico y bioestratigráfico de los mamíferos fósiles del Neógeno continental de Araia d’Alcora, en la Cuenca de Ribesalbes-Alcora (Castelló, España), a partir de la prospección de diversas secciones y del muestreo de los yacimientos de mayor interés. Los principales objetivos planteados en esta tesis han sido: • La obtención de un registro lo más completo posible de las faunas de mamíferos del área de estudio, mediante la identificación de niveles fosilíferos y la toma de muestras suficientemente grandes para obtener colecciones de fósiles representativas. • Determinación taxonómica de los grupos de mamíferos ha…
Una fauna de foraminíferos en el Mioceno continental de la localidad de Buñol (provincia de Valencia)
1984
A fauna of benthonic forarninifera was found in the continental Miocene from Buñol (Valencia, Spain). This fauna was considered as autochthonous, Two species were identified: <i>Rosalina douvillei</i>(CUSHMAN) and <i>Quinqueloculinai seminula</i> (LINNÉ). A few number of planktonic individuals were found. These individuals were refered to the species <i>Globorotalia</i> cf. <i>mayeri</i> CUSHMAN & ELLISOR. The paleoenvironmental characteristics of this outcrops, taken into account the information obtained from benthonic foraminifera, and the bioestratigraphic data obtained from planktonic foraminifera are discussed.<br><br>En e…

El Ciclo Ándico de Groeber en la cuenca Neuquina, una revisión y actualización.
2022
A state of the knowledge of the Andean cycle is presented, mainly based on our recent works, butalso on highlights of recent research of many colleagues. This synthesis allowed us to update thegeochronology of its different units. New absolute ages through U-Pb analysis in zircons by differentmethods complement those previously carried out and made possible to accurately limit the ageof these units. We have been able to define the boundary between the Tordillo and Vaca MuertaFormations very precisely between 147 and 146 Ma; the age of the Agrio Formation between 132 and126 Ma, and to present the first absolute ages of the Huitrín Formation. All these data are screenedthrough precise biostra…
Braquiópodos devónicos de la Cordillera Cantábrica (Norte de España). 12) Ferronirhynchia nuevo género de rinconélido (Trigonirhynchiidae) del Emsien…
2021
The taxonomic status of the subfamily Trigonirhynchiinae is discussed based on the morphological features, together with the geographic and the stratigraphic distribution of the type genus Trigonirhynchia Cooper. The new genus, Ferronirhynchia n. gen., including the type species F. pulgari n. sp., is proposed. The new taxon, close to Trigonirhynchia , occurs in upper Emsian beds of the Moniello Formation, in Asturias, serotinus/patulus conodont zones, Faunal Intervals 14 to 16a. The ontogeny and palaeoecology of F. pulgari are analyzed. Growth of the new species is bicyclic. Juvenile forms are low and biconvex displaying sharp commissures. Adult forms are high, dorsi-biconvex, ge…
