Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology | Abstract: | The emergent marine deposits of the Mediterranean basin have been recognized as an important record of Quaternary sea level history for more than a century. Previous workers identified what have been interpreted to be two separate high stands of sea in the late Quaternary, namely the "Eutyrrhenian" (thought to be ~ 120 ka) and the "Neotyrrhenian" (thought to be either ~ 100 ka or ~ 80 ka). On Mallorca, Spain, both of these named deposits lie close to present sea level, implying paleo-sea levels slightly above present during both marine isotope stages (MIS) 5.5/5e and either 5.3/5c or 5.1/5a. If these interpretations are correct, they conflict, at least in part, with sea level records from far-field localities. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/17947 | ISSN: | 0031-0182 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.palaeo.2015.06.043 | Source: | Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology [ISSN 0031-0182], v. 438, p. 408-424 |
