Mediterranean Coastal Lagoons
2018
On the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula—between the Ebro Delta and Cape Palos—the conditions during the Pleistocene, and especially after the Flandrian transgression, favoured the development of beach barrier systems and lagoons along large segments of the coast. The very small tidal range made connections between the sea and lagoons difficult, and this favoured sedimentation processes, which was often accelerated by human activity. Three very different sectors have been differentiated: the Gulf of Valencia, where the largest number of lagoons is found; the cliffed Betic structural sector between Cape Sant Antoni and Cape de les Hortes, in which there are just a few very small lagoons…
Biochronological and paleoenvironmental interest of foraminifera lived in restricted environments: application to the study of the western Mediterran…
2002
As a consequence ofthe Flandrian transgression, numerous littoral lakes were f since roughly 6000 BP in the western Mediterranean coast. This kind of environment is colonized, among other groups, by specialized forms of foraminifera. Some species arose in the Upper Tertiary, some others in the Pleistocene and others are exclusively Holocene. Two kinds ofenvironment are proposed in the colonization: one with very low salinity waters where agglutinated test species prevail and another one with brackish waters, dominated by calcareous test species. In addition, Trichohyalus aguayoi can be considered as an acmezone within the Holocene. We propose a cenozone formed by the following assemblage: A…
