Rodent palaeoecology of the Continental Upper Miocene of Crevillente (Alicante, SE Spain)

摘要: Abstract The Upper Miocene succession of Crevillente presents an alternation continental and marine beds. fossils have been studied in order to obtain a reliable correlation with other sections. On the basis these data, entire section can be dated as Tortonian/Messinian. beds fits known eustatic sea-level climatic curves. These correlations are used assign ecological preferences components micromammal faunas at species level; it becomes clear that working genus level does not provide valid results. With assignments, is possible demonstrate consistent differences between coastal plain area Teruel on Meseta Central Spain.
