Se presenta una breve visión histórica del descubrimiento, estudio, interpretación y repercusión popular de la especie Megatherium americanum Cuvier, 1796 (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Megatheriidae), principalmente dos esqueletos montados en España desde antiguo. El ejemplar exhibido el Museo Ciencias Naturales Valencia (España), que forma parte colección traída por Rodrigo Botet 1898 Argentina, representa uno los especímenes más completos emblemáticos se han recuperado esta megafauna sudamericana...
El yacimiento kárstico cuaternario de la Sierra Quibas (Abanilla, Murcia) ha proporcionado una amplia lista faunística constituida por 53 especies repartidas entre gasterópodos, miriápodos, anfibios, reptiles, aves y mamíferos. En el conjunto los gasterópodos destaca Palaeoglandina, un género que se extingue en resto Europa durante Plioceno mantiene como relicto Pleistoceno Península Ibérica. Dos las determinadas, Gypaetus barbatus Gerontieus eremita, serpientes, Elaphe cf. E. sealaris,...
Se presenta una síntesis preliminar de la metodología y los principales resultados obtenidos en las nuevas campañas excavación (1995-2006) localidad clásica vertebrados del Mioceno final (Turoliense superior, MN13) Venta Moro (Valencia, España). Destaca actualización lista faunística, con incorporación más decena taxones no citados anteriormente el yacimiento. Así, si consideramos sólo asociación mamíferos, listado se compone, por momento, 43 taxones. Además, presentan listas provisionales...
In the Gormaig area (Alcoy basin, SE Spain) a number of fossil mammal localities are known, which only classic site Alcoy-Mina, known since mid-19th century, has yielded remains macrofauna. vicinity this Alcoy-2C (AL2C) and Alcoy-2D (AL2D), probably representing levels Alcoy-Mina. The faunal assemblage allows dating AL2C AL2D as Early Pliocene (end Ruscinian or early-late boundary, MN14-MN15). Several taxa (Pliopetaurista Glis) thought to have affinities for humid close biotopes.
We report a new dimylid species, Plesiodimylus ilercavonicus sp. nov., from the Early Miocene locality of Mas d’Antolino B-5 (Ribesalbes-Alcora, Castelló, Spain). This species is an amblyodont form genus and exhibits some primitive characters. The phylogenetic palaeoenvironmental implications this southern occurrence in Lower sediments are discussed.http://zoobank.org/lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E78DB979-6552-4BE2-BEC9-FA2EA05B7B39
In the present study we analyse diversity of Superfamily Ursoidea during Neogene Iberian Peninsula to further compare it with that Western Europe find different associations this group. The results indicate both and taxonomy amongst these two regions show important variations, thus letting their interpretation in terms climatic differentiation. We might relate variations abundance environmental fluctuations taking place Miocene Pliocene. Therefore, they could enable us reach assessment...
Murids are usually the dominant faunas of late Miocene and early Pliocene micromammal assemblages. The present work deals with murid well-known locality Venta del Moro, comprising over 2700 molars ascribed to taxa Apodemus gorafensis, Occitanomys alcalai, Paraethomys meini Stephanomys dubari. This list differs from those previous studies by presence A. gorafensis instead gudrunae. gudrunae in younger localities than Moro implies that both species, considered ancestor descendant, coexisted...
Dos especies de félidos talla pequeña a media, Felis aff. silvestris y Caracal depereti nov. sp., han sido identificadas en el yacimiento cárstico plioceno Layna, Soria. sp. muestra estrechas afinidades con issiodorensis, especie que tradicionalmente ha clasificada género Lynx. Esta interpretación implica no hay evidencias linces Plioceno Europa occidental, probablemente esta consideración pueda aplicarse otros yacimientos pliocenos Eurasia, los se determinado Lynx issiodorensis.
ABSTRACT We present the bat assemblage from early Miocene (MN4, 16.9–15.95 MY) basin of Ribesalbes-Alcora, which has yielded remains ten chiropteran taxa. Bat assemblages are rarely recovered in fluvio-lacustrine fossil record. A species described this work, Cuvierimops penalveri sp. nov., is a new form typically Oligocene free-tailed bat. In addition, other molossids Hydromops helveticus , Rhizomops cf . brasiliensis Chaerephon sp., Tadarida and vespertilionids Myotis intermedius...
This paper deals with the fossil rodent and insectivore faunas from localities of southern side Gormaget ravine (Alcoy Basin, Spain): Alcoi Barranc Sud (ABS-1, ABS-2, ABS-3, ABS-3A, ABS-7, ABS-8, ABS-9, ABS-10), Cristian (AC-0, AC-0B AC-0C).We infer in this an Early Ruscinian age for these sites.Based on analysis micromammal faunas, we consider that ABS-3 ABS-3A are older than AC-0, which has a similar as classic site Alcoy-Barranco.The palaeoecological interpretation fauna recovered new...
A new genus and species of deer, Lucentia iberica , is described from the lower Turolian (MN 11) locality Crevillente 2 (Alicante province, Spain). Eostyloceros pierensis Thomas, 1951 Piera (Barcelona province) also included in genus. The two-tined not a representative Muntiacinae. From emplacement on cranial cavity moderate backward inclination pedicles, monopodial construction antlers, probably sister group clade Cervinae + Odocoileinae. hypothesis that most closely related to poorly...
The Campo Coy Basin (SE Spain) exposes >1 km of sedimentary succession with a variety rocks including thick evaporitic previously associated the Messinian time. These evaporites were supposedly deposited in restricted Mediterranean-Atlantic seaway connecting Lorca and Guadix-Baza basins, although no chronological or geochemical data existed. Here we use palaeomagnetism together vertebrate foraminifera biostratigraphy to constrain age between <9 Ma 4.7 Ma. We geochemistry (δ34S, δ18O...
A finales de la década los 90 se realizó el primer estudio paleontológico del yacimiento Sierra Quibas (Montoya et al., 1999) en que describieron más 60 taxones vertebrados. Uno ellos fue un caprino asignado como Capra sp. aff alba. Las últimas campañas excavación han librado nuevos restos este taxón, lo ha permitido poder estudiarlo con mayor profundidad y asignarlo a Esta atribución basa comparación morfológica métrica cráneos, núcleos óseos, dentición metápodos ejemplares C. alba Venta...
