Abstract Among invertebrates and both in modern ancient marine environments, certain echinoderms have been are some of the most active widespread bioturbators bioeroders. Bioturbation and/or bioerosion regular irregular echinoids, starfish, brittle stars, sea cucumbers crinoids known from settings, resulting traces their counterparts fossil record. By contrast, surficial trails or trackways produced by other echinoderms, e.g., sand dollars, exhibit a lower preservation rate not yet...
Vertebrate macroevolution has been punctuated by fundamental habitat transitions from shallow marine origins to terrestrial, freshwater, and aerial environments. Invasion of the deep sea is a less well-known ecological shift because low fossilization potential continual loss abyssal fossil record ocean floor subduction. Therefore, there lack convincing evidence bottom-living vertebrates pre-Paleogene seas. Here, we describe trace fossils plain turbidites Tethys Ocean, which, combined with...
The burrowing activity of the only European fiddler crab species, Uca tangeri (Eydoux, 1835), was studied along shores estuary Piedra River in Lepe, southwestern Spain. Casting burrows allowed recognition their simple, J-shaped to irregular architecture, which displays striking similarities fossil Pliocene same area. finding body fossils U. contemporaneous strata indicates these trace are produced by species and demonstrate its presence eastern Atlantic coast at least for last three million...
Abstract: Middle Miocene tests of Clypeaster from L’Arrabassada (Tarragona, north‐east Spain) show evidence intense endoskeletozoan colonization, preserved as borings and associated carbonate secretions that allow gastrochaenid bivalves to be identified the colonizers. Two modes occurrence have been recognized for these bivalve dwelling cavities; ‘intrastereom clavate borings’ which are restricted echinoid stereom, ‘semi‐endoskeletal dwellings’, penetrate across test wall extend crypts into...
New occurrences of Sinusichnus sinuosus described in the Cenozoic Spain evidence almost continuous fossil record this ichnospecies from Upper Cretaceous to Lower Pliocene.Morphological and size features these highly regular sinusoidal burrows have been analyzed, showing a very recurrent constructional pattern through time.Such are also constant along ontogeny producer.The large number similarities that ichnogenus shares with fodinichnial burrow systems, such as Thalassinoides, Ophiomorpha,...

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...
A new ichnospecies, Linichnus bromleyi, is described on bone substrate as the result of a very likely predator/scavenger interaction. L. bromleyi consists single groove with non-serrated edge. This ichnotaxon compared serratus which was defined elongate serrate-edged groove. has been identified over surface bones marine mammals (in particular, cetaceans and pinnipeds) from two Pliocene outcrops Andalusia, southern Spain. The ichnospecies can be clearly related trophic interaction between...
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...
Abstract A well-preserved omission surface (sedimentary discontinuity) in an outcrop near Alcoi southeastern Spain displays trace fossils and body that reflect a dynamic benthic community during the Miocene (Langhian–Tortonian). This outcrop, besides being type locality of Spongeliomorpha iberica Saporta, 1887, exhibits other abundant fossils, such as Glossifungites saxicava Łomnicki, 1886 Gastrochaenolites ornatus Kelly Bromley, 1984. These are restricted to single stratigraphic horizon...
