The Aragonian and Vallesian high-resolution micromammal succession from the Calatayud-Montalbán Basin (Aragón, Spain)
[EN] We present an updated taxonomy and faunal distribution of the micromammal fossil record from the Aragonian and Lower Vallesian of the Calatayud-Montalbán Basin. The analysed record includes the orders Rodentia, Eulipotyphla, and Lagomorpha. The pattern of species turnover shows seven major faun...

| Sumario: | [EN] We present an updated taxonomy and faunal distribution of the micromammal fossil record from the Aragonian and Lower Vallesian of the Calatayud-Montalbán Basin. The analysed record includes the orders Rodentia, Eulipotyphla, and Lagomorpha. The pattern of species turnover shows seven major faunal events, which are correlated with major climate changes based on marine stable oxygen and carbon isotope records. Episodes δ18O Mi-2 and Mi-3 are significantly correlated with major micromammal turnover at the boundaries between the Lower and Middle Aragonian and the Middle and Upper Aragonian, respectively. Our results support the existence of a selective turnover during the Aragonian and Lower Vallesian. |
