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...
This paper analyzes evidences of predation observed in ostracod populations collected the southwestern Spanish shelf (0–70 m depth). Examination seventy-two samples and almost 17,300 specimens allowed recovering more than 135 bored valves carapaces. Percentages are very low (< 2%), with highest values isolated to densities. Two main types boreholes can be distinguished: a) Oichnus paraboloides Bromley, accounting for over 70% total boreholes; b) simplex Bromley. Boreholes concentrated mainly...
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...
Marine mammal fossils (except pinnipeds) have commonly been found in Pliocene marine siliciclastic layers of the Neogene Guadalquivir Basin Southwest Spain. A few phocid innominate bones are known from Western Paratethys and Atlantic. Here we describe a new bone early (5.3–3.6 Ma) (Spain), which is typical subfamily Monachinae, has flattened ilium similar to representatives tribe Lobodontini, particularly Leptonychotes weddellii. Comparison with other fossil monachine innominates North...
Abstract Evidence of predation on the recent ostracod populations Nador lagoon (Morocco) and El Melah (Tunisia), two semi-arid coastal areas North Africa, is scarce. However, rare, bored valves have been extracted from inner, very restricted both lagoons. All these present cylindrical boreholes, an ichnofossil known as Oichnus simplex Bromley, 1981, near central muscular field. Borehole diameters are not correlated with dimensions (length, height) valves. Predation had apparently focused...
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...
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...
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...
