摘要: Abstract Marly sediments of the early Messinian Abad Member Turre Formation from northeastern sector Carboneras-Nijar Basin (southern Spain) have yielded a rich fossil assemblage, which 60 taxa are documented herein. Besides nannoflora and microfauna, this assemblage includes first autochthonous macrofauna described Member. Based on calcareous nannofossil in particular occurrence zonal index taxon Amaurolithus primus, assigned to Mediterranean zone CNM17, corresponding latest Tortonian earliest interval. This matches age range generally reported for Palaeoecological evidence nannofossils (20 taxa), planktic benthic foraminifera (12 Porifera (3 Octocorallia (Keratoisis), Serpulidae (4 Bivalvia (5 Gastropoda (2 Brachiopoda (7 Cirripedia (Faxelepas) Vertebrata taxa) indicates an upper bathyal environment with influx neritic elements near Carboneras. Additionally, several faunal components may represent allochthonous/parautochthonous adjacent habitats, were transported into deep marine setting by turbiditic mass flows. Although similarities exist, marls is compositionally significantly different biota previously nearby exposed olistostrome, ‘red breccia’. Similar assemblages so far mainly been Pliocene-Pleistocene southern Italy Greece. The Carboneras fauna thus adds our knowledge development these habitats their prior salinity crisis.
