Benthic foraminifers as a proxy of the range of the tidal wave in the Oyambre Estuary (Cantabria, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2019)Recent benthic foraminifers from the Oyambre estuary (north of Spain) have been studied in order to learn their biological response to drastic anthropic environmental changes that this estuary has undergone within the last ... -
Chemostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic signatures of the Anthropocene in estuarine areas from the eastern Cantabrian coast (N. Spain)
(Elsevier, 2015-04)A range of chemostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic markers of human impacts can be recorded in four estuaries located in the eastern Cantabrian coast (northern Spain). Metal-enriched levels and stable Pb isotopic ratios ... -
Combining Small-Vertebrate, Marine and Stable-Isotope Data to Reconstruct Past Environments
(Nature, 2015)Three very different records are combined here to reconstruct the evolution of environments in the Cantabrian Region during the Upper Pleistocene, covering ~35.000 years. Two of these records come from Antoliñako Koba ... -
Early Development of the Neanderthal Ribcage Reveals a Different Body Shape at Birth Compared to Modern Humans
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-10-07)Ontogenetic studies provide clues for understanding important paleobiological aspects of extinct species. When compared to that of modern humans, the adult Neanderthal thorax was shorter, deeper, and wider. This is related ... -
First occurrence of Mosasauridae (Squamata) in the Maastrichtian (latest Cretaceous) of Alicante (Valencia Community, Eastern Spain)
(CSIC, 2013-01)[EN] Although the mosasaurid genus Prognathodon is known worldwide during the latest Cretaceous (Cam-panian-Maastrichtian), we report here its first occurrence in the Eastern area of the Iberian Peninsula. It was previously ... -
First palaeoneurological study of asauropod dinosaur from France and itsphylogenetic significance
(PeerJ Incorporation, 2019-11-18)Despite continuous improvements, our knowledge of the palaeoneurology of sauropod dinosaurs is still deficient. This holds true even for Titanosauria, which is a particularly speciose clade of sauropods with representatives ... -
Geological record of extreme floods and anthropogenic impacts on an industrialised bay: the inner Abra of Bilbao (northern Spain)
(Elsevier, 2019-08-15)The Bilbao estuary is one of the most polluted areas on the northern coast of Spain, owing to the direct disposal of urban effluents and waste waters from mining and industrial activities that has occurred during the last ... -
Ichnotaxonomic Review of Large Ornithopod Dinosaur Tracks: Temporal and Geographic Implications
(Public Library Science, 2015-02-12)Background Large ornithopod tracks are known from the Upper Jurassic to the uppermost Cretaceous rocks of all continents but Antarctica. They include the tracks historically called Iguanodon footprints, iguanodontid ... -
Island life in the Cretaceous - faunal composition, biogeography, evolution, and extinction of land-living vertebrates on the Late Cretaceous European archipelago
(Pensoft Publ., 2015)The Late Cretaceous was a time of tremendous global change, as the final stages of the Age of Dinosaurs were shaped by climate and sea level fluctuations and witness to marked paleogeographic and faunal changes, before the ... -
Isotope analyses to explore diet and mobility in a medieval Muslim population at Tauste (NE Spain)
(Public Library Science, 2017-05-04)The Islamic necropolis discovered in Tauste (Zaragoza, Spain) is the only evidence that a large Muslim community lived in the area between the 8th and 10th centuries. A multi-isotope approach has been used to investigate ... -
Lethal Interpersonal Violence in the Middle Pleistocene
(Public Library Science, 2015-05-27)Evidence of interpersonal violence has been documented previously in Pleistocene members of the genus Homo, but only very rarely has this been posited as the possible manner of death. Here we report the earliest evidence ... -
Middle Eocene Rhodoliths from Tropical and Mid-Latitude Regions
(MDPI, 2020-03-23)During the greenhouse conditions prevailing in the early–middle Eocene, larger benthic foraminifers (LBF) spread out on carbonate platforms worldwide while rhodolith beds were scarcely represented. This reduction in ... -
Multi-aged social behaviour based on artiodactyl tracks in an early Miocene palustrine wetland (Ebro Basin, Spain)
(Nature, 2020-01-24)We present a new locality with at least 880 vertebrate tracks found at the top of a limestone bed from the lower Miocene Tudela Formation (Spain). The trampled surface was formed by artiodactyls that crossed a muddy carbonate ... -
Osteometric analysis of the scapula and humerus of Rangifer tarandus and Cervus elaphus : A contribution to the discrimination of Late Pleistocene cervids
(Inst Paleobiologii Pan, 2014-12)Fossil remains of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) occurring outside their present range are an important indicator of formerly cold climatic conditions, but are easily confused with those of the red deer (Cervus elaphus). The ... -
Palaeoenvironmental analysis based on alluvial ostracod assemblages of the Cenicero section (lower Miocene, NW Ebro Basin)
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, 2015)In this work we perform for the first time a palaeoenvironmental and biostratigraphic analysis of the lower Miocene alluvial deposits of the Cenicero section (NW sector of the Ebro Basin; N Iberian Peninsula), based on the ... -
Relative sea-level changes in the Basque coast (northern Spain, Bay of Biscay) during the Holocene and Anthropocene: The Urdaibai estuary case
(Elsevier, 2015)In order to reconstruct the environmental evolution process of the Urdaibai estuary in response to sea-level changes in the Basque coast (northern Spain, Bay of Biscay) during the last 8500 years, 10 boreholes were drilled ... -
Stable Isotopes Reveal Patterns of Diet And Mobility in the Last Neandertals and First Modern Humans in Europe
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-03-14)Correlating cultural, technological and ecological aspects of both Upper Pleistocene modern humans (UPMHs) and Neandertals provides a useful approach for achieving robust predictions about what makes us human. Here we ... -
