The fossil insectivores from Turolian sites (latest Miocene) in Spain are poorly studied, usually limited to the description of a few new species, or restricted to non-detailed faunal lists. For the first time, the insectivore fossil contents from several Turolian localities at different latitudes from the eastern area of the Iberian Peninsula have been thoroughly studied, and appropriate descriptions,...
In Western Europe, the change from the Middle Miocene forest-adapted mammalian faunas to the more open woodland faunas of the later Neogene, took place through an abrupt critical period known as the Vallesian Crisis. The Vallesian Crisis involved the disappearance of most of the forest-adapted elements characterizing the middle Miocene, such as tapirs, rhinoceroses, wet-adapted artiodactyls, hominoids,...
The chronology of the Late Miocene Mediterranean-Atlantic gateways through southern Iberia is a key issue to better understand the geodynamic processes that lead to the Messinian salinity crisis. The timing of the North Betic corridor continentalization has recently been constrained by integrated magnetobiostratigraphic dating of the La Lancha section in the Guadix basin (Hüsing et al., 2010: Palaeogeography...
In this paper we report on the results of a paleontological and paleomagnetic sampling carried out in the Miocene of the central Ebro Basin. It includes the sections of Albalatillo, Lanaja, La Almolda and San Caprasio in the Sierra de Alcubierre, which delivered six new micromammal levels ranging from the MN3 to MN5 mammal units. The magnetobiostratigraphic study of the Sierra de Alcubierre enables...
In this paper we describe a new species of Hypolagus coming from an early Pliocene karstic deposit near Caló den Rafelino (Manacor, Mallorca). It represents the westernmost European record for the genus. The faunal assemblage of this deposit represents an early phase of the second insular faunal episode of Mallorca, related with the Messinian regressive episode (latest Miocene). Although the postcranial...
En este trabajo se describen los mamíferos insulares procedentes del yacimiento cárstico de Punta Nati-2 y de es Cul de sa Ferrada, situados en la costa noroccidental de la isla de Menorca (illes Balears, España, Mediterráneo occidental). Uno de los mamíferos descritos (encontrado únicamente en Punta Nati-2) corresponde a una nueva especie de glírido, Margaritamys adroveri, próxima a Margaritamys...
In this paper, the insectivores, chiropterans and rodents from the middle Miocene site of Can Missert are described. The faunal list of this locality includes the following species: Miosorex grivensis, Desmanella sp., Talpidae indet., Vespertilionidae indet., Hispanomys daamsi, Megacricetodon minor, Megacricetodon ibericus, Fahlbuschia crusafonti, Democricetodon brevis nemoralis, Eumyarion medium,...
