River mouths act as containers for pollution episodes that have occurred in their drainage basins over time. The estuary of the Tinto is currently one most polluted areas world, due to past and recent mining industrial activities. This communication studies concentrations seven strategic minerals a sediment core obtained middle this river. Holocene geochemical record has allowed us distinguish four contamination: an initial acid rock during MIS-1 transgression three anthropogenic ones first...
Abstract Tracks and trackways of newborns, calves juveniles attributed to straight-tusked elephants were found in the MIS 5 site (Upper Pleistocene) known as Matalascañas Trampled Surface (MTS) at Huelva, SW Spain. Evidence a snapshot social behaviour, especially parental care, can be determined from concentration elephant tracks trackways, apparently contemporaneous converging small juvenile larger, presumably young adult female tracks. The size frequency enabled us infer body mass age...
Abstract As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in spring of 2020, governments around world began to implement policies mitigate and manage outbreak. Significant research efforts were deployed track analyse these real-time better inform response. While much policy analysis focused narrowly on social distancing measures designed slow spread disease, here, we present a dataset capturing breadth types implemented by jurisdictions globally across whole-of-government. COVID Analysis Mapping Policies...
ABSTRACT Well-preserved tracks of the wild boar Sus scrofa are described from Matalascañas Trampled Surface (MTS) in upper Pleistocene aeolian basal unit El Asperillo Cliff, Huelva (southwestern Spain). These first published suid pigs fossil record, here formally as Suidichnus galani igen. and isp. nov. A revision valid artiodactyl ichnogenera is provided for comparison. The large size found Late Spain contradicts general trend towards smaller known evolution species Bergmann's...
Abstract In the Iberian Peninsula fossil record of artiodactyls spans over 53 million years. During Pleistocene, wild cattle species such as Bison and especially Bos became common. Late aurochs ( primigenius ) was widespread only bovine living along large river valleys southern Iberia. Although commonly found in sites cave bone assemblages, trace known worldwide from Holocene. Large roe deer/caprine tracks were at least five horizons early Pleistocene (MIS 5) beach eolian deposits Cape...
This paper investigates the paleoenvironmental evolution of a core extracted in middle sector Tinto River estuary, SW Spain, one most polluted areas world due to mining over thousands years (>4 kyr BP) and recent industrial discharges. includes alluvial sands (>6.4 cal BP), bioclastic silts deposited subtidal intertidal channels during after Holocene transgression maximum (6.4-4.3 sedimentation clayey-sandy low high marshes last 2.4 BP final anthropic filling. Three sharp peaks...
The Tinto and Odiel rivers (SW Spain) drain from a vast sulfide mining district join at 20-km-long estuary that enters the Atlantic Ocean. In this work, contents of rare earth elements (REE) fractionation in Neogene–Holocene sediment cores La Fontanilla cove (Tinto estuary) were studied. sediments collected depth 18 m different distances recent river flow analyzed for new information on temporal development REE load column. Results show ∑ is higher finer during periods activity prehistoric...
This paper investigates the paleoenvironmental evolution of a long core extracted in small cove located Tinto-Odiel estuary (SW Spain). The inferred reconstruction is supported by sedimentological, geochemical, paleontological data and dating. Seven phases have been identified, with transit from Late Neogene marine environments to subrecent freshwater pond final anthropic filling. On basis these data, this area was flooded during maximum MIS-1 transgression (6.5-5.2 cal. kyr BP), temporary...
In the Huelva Coast of SW Spain erosion by recent marine storms revealed presence a paleosol where an extensive tracksite known as “Matalascañas Trampled Surface” (MTS) has been documented. The MTS includes tracks and trackways large species mammals, along with bird trace fossils, invertebrate burrows root traces. Within this record, several hominin footprints stands out. Despite previous uncertainties about producer these footprints, new OSL age 151 ± 11 ka secures their attribution to...
Estuaries are excellent environments for identifying pollution episodes that have affected river basins, as their sediments the final destination of some pollutants. This paper studies geochemical evolution five elements (As, Co, Cu, Pb, Zn) in a core extracted from middle estuary Tinto River (SW Spain). The results based on facies interpretation, ICP atomic emission spectrometry analysis, application regional background to obtain geoaccumulation index and dating. main objective this...
This paper studies the Late Holocene benthic foraminifera from a continuous core extracted in Doñana National Park (SW Spain). In this core, foraminiferal assemblages confirm lagoon (historically so-called Lacus Ligustinus) during Roman period, about 2000 years ago. The more open, deepest areas of were dominated by Ammonia tepida and Elphidium spp., while Haynesina germanica was most representative species shallow, restricted zones. vertical variations these assemblages, together with...
The elemental content—mainly trace elements—of samples from two boreholes (PLN, CM) with evidence of tsunamiites, located in the Doñana National Park (SW Spain), were studied. geochemical variations REE, LILE, HFSE, and other elements (Al, Ti, S, Na, Br, Sc, Co, Cr) interpreted according to mineralogy present samples. results obtained show complexity estuarine paleoenvironments, this case existence three Holocene-age tsunamigenic deposits (around 4.25, 3.56 2.2–2 kyr BP). statistical...
The Doñana National Park is a Biosphere Reserve located within the estuary of Guadalquivir River (SW Spain). It mainly composed extensive fluvio-tidal marshes partially protected by an elongated sandy spit. Three phases have been distinguished in late Holocene evolution this spit based on textural, geochemical, palaeontological and, chronological data recorded long core (31 m). Phase 1 (890 BCE-218 BCE) characterized alternation lagoonal silty sediments and slightly polluted marsh deposits,...
