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…

I RODITORI DI CAVA MONTICINO (BRISIGHELLA, RA)

2021

Rodents are the most abundant group of small mammals occurring in Brisighella deposits. They are represented by 12 species in total, among which 2 hamsters (Apocricetus cf. barrierei and Ruscinomys cf. lasallei), 2 dormice (Muscardinus sp. and Myomimus sp.), 1 porcupine (Hystrix (Hystrix) depereti), 2 sciurids (Atlantoxerus cf. rhodius and Hylopetes sp.) and 5 species of muridae (Apodemus cf. gudrunae, Centralomys benericettii, Occitanomys sp, Paraethomys meini and Stephanomys debruijni). This association suggests a relatively dry open environment, interrupted by forest environment with more or less dense underground.

I roditori sono il gruppo di micromammiferi più abbondante presente a Brisighella. Sono presenti 12 specie in totale: due cricetidi (Apocricetus cf. barrierei e Ruscinomys cf. lasallei) due gliridi (Muscardinus sp. e Myomimus sp.) un istrice (Hystrix (Hystrix) depereti) due sciuridi (Atlantoxerus cf. rhodius e Hylopetes sp.) e ben cinque specie di muridi (Apodemus cf. gudrunae Centralomys benericettii Occitanomys sp. Paraethomys meini e Stephanomys debruijni). Questa associazione suggerisce un ambiente aperto relativamente arido intervallato da spazi di foresta secca con sottobosco più o meno fitto.
