Abstract We present a paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstruction based on microfaunal assemblages preserved at Lezetxiki II Cave (Arrasate, Basque Country, Iberian Peninsula) synthesize previously published new chronological work from the cave to better understand environmental history of region. The stratigraphic sequence this short gallery ranges end middle Pleistocene Holocene has great micropaleontological relevance for Peninsula, especially because it contains most ancient...
This study is a contribution to the knowledge of ancient avifauna in Iberian Peninsula. 1,786 bird bones have been recovered from Artazu VII (Arrasate, northern Peninsula), with 239 remains identified Order/Family and 519 Genus/Species level, belonging to, at least, 12 taxa: Buteo lagopus, Aquila chrysaetos, Perdix perdix, Coturnix coturnix, Alectoris sp., Lyrurus tetrix, Crex crex, Bubo cf. bubo, Corvus monedula, Pica pica, Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax graculus. The best represented taxa are...
The Artazu VII site (Arrasate, northern Iberian Peninsula) is a fossiliferous deposit that was discovered unsystematically at the Kobate Quarry in 2012. During following year, all vertebrate remains attributed to upper Pleistocene (~ 93 ka) were recovered an emergency excavation project. Here, we describe, for first time, small assemblage (amphibians, reptiles, and mammals) from site, as well environmental climatic results estimated paleoecological affinities of studied taxa. More than...
LOWER—MIDDLE MIOCENE OSTRACOD ASSEMBLAGES OF LOMA NEGRA (BARDENAS REALES DE NAVARRA, EBRO BASIN): PALAEOENVIRONMENTAL EVOLUTION A LACUSTRINE SYSTEM. The palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Loma Negra section (Bardenas Reales de Navarra, Ebro Basin) during lower—middle Miocene, is studied for first time. paleoenvironmental interpretation based on recovered ostracod assemblages and sedimentology. lower part this composed by red, yellow grey mudstones, with Paralimnocythere sp. as most...
Artazu VII palaeontological site (Arrasate, Gipuzkoa) is one of the few deposits in Iberian Peninsula which humans did not intervene its formation as acted a natural trap. The vertebrate remains recovered are very good state preservation and display great biodiversity. large mammal assemblage from studied detail this paper. Fourteen different species described, including ungulates carnivores. Morphological osteometric descriptions also provided, well morphological study chamois leopard...
The debate regarding a possible marine influence during the middle—late Miocene in Loja, Malacatos-Vilcabamba and Catamayo-Gonzanamá Basins (southern Ecuador) continues. To shed light on this controversy, we present detailed stratigraphic micropaleontological (benthic foraminifers ostracods) study of selected sections from these basins. facies associations, together with presence several benthic foraminifer species marginal open-water environments ostracod genera resistant to high salinity...
En este trabajo se realiza, por vez primera, un análisis paleoambiental y bioestratigráfico de los depósitos aluviales del Mioceno inferior la sección Cenicero (sector NO Cuenca Ebro; N Península Ibérica), a partir las asociaciones ostrácodos micromamíferos preservadas en estos materiales. Una principales características esta es inusual abundancia ejemplares no transportados, comparación con otras secciones europeas edad ambiente sedimentario similares, lo que permite hacer inferencias...

A systematic study of vertebrate remains from Mesolithic to Chalcolithic/Bronze Age levels in Lumentxa Cave has examined a total 12,390 belonging large mammals, small amphibians and reptiles, which have been identified at genus/species level. They are distributed among 37 taxa, corresponding minimum number 328 individuals. The analysis the fauna allowed reconstruction lifestyle human groups that inhabited Lumentxa, originated part mammal accumulation Neolithic Bronze periods. Changes food...
Sites corresponding to Marine Isotope Stage MIS 5c and 4 like Artazu VIII, with a continental record but no hominin imprints or carnivore activities, are very scarce in the Iberian Peninsula. The VIII cave fill (Arrasate, northern Spain) was discovered 2013 is presented here for first time, including detailed stratigraphic sedimentological descriptions of differentiated 12 levels, as well an ordered chronology most covering at least 36.000 years. In addition, small mammal assemblage yielded...
Se dan a conocer los primeros testimonios de frecuentación romana la cueva Los Toriles (Carrizosa, Ciudad Real), una gruta con larga ocupación animal y humana, cuanto menos desde el Pleistoceno hasta nuestros días. Aunque en primera campaña excavación sólo se han podido constatar algunos fragmentos cerámica, estos son lo suficientemente relevantes como para confirmar conocimiento entrada cavidad durante Antigüedad. Además del análisis tipológico arqueométrico las cerámicas, esta novedosa...
