Issue Date: | 2014 | Journal: | Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology | Abstract: | The presence of Harpa doris Röding, 1798 in marine deposits of the last interglacial period, ~. 130-120. ka (marine isotope stage or MIS 5.5) in the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura) enabled us to compare this occurrence with its present habitat in the Gulf of Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands, well to the south. This comparison leads to the conclusion that sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the waters around the Canary Islands during the last interglacial period were at least 3.3. °C higher than today. H. doris is found in association with the large gastropod Persististrombus latus (Gmelin, 1791) as well as the coral Siderastrea radians (Pallas, 1766). | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/17951 | ISSN: | 0031-0182 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.palaeo.2014.05.046 | Source: | Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology [ISSN 0031-0182], v. 410, p. 153-163, (Septiembre 2014) |
