Fossil seeds from the pliocene of Menorca and Eivissa

| Resumo: | [eng] The presence of Cneorum tricoccon and Crataegus monogyna during the Pliocene of Menorca, and of Cneorum tricoccon and Pistacia lentiscus during the Pliocene of Eivissa is documented from fossil seeds obtained in karstic deposits. We compare the size of abundant fossil Cneorum seeds from Menorca with those obtained from the only extant population in this island. The finding of such Cneorum seeds demonstrates the wider distribution of this species in the past in Menorca, before the disappearance of its main disperser, the endemic lizard Podarcis lilfordi (Lacertidae). |
