Fecha de publicación: | 2014 | Publicación seriada: | Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology | Resumen: | We present the first U-series ages of corals from emergent marine deposits on the Canary Islands. Deposits at +. 20. m are 481 ± 39 ka, possibly correlative to marine isotope stage (or MIS) 11, while those at +. 12 and +. 8. m are 120.5 ± 0.8. ka and 130.2 ± 0.8. ka, respectively, correlative to MIS 5.5. The age, elevations, and uplift rates derived from MIS 5.5 deposits on the Canary Islands allow calculations of hypothetical palaeo-sea levels during the MIS 11 high sea stand. Estimates indicate that the MIS 11 high sea stand likely was at least +. 9. m (relative to present sea level) and could have been as high as +. 24. m. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/17952 | ISSN: | 0031-0182 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.palaeo.2013.11.015 | Fuente: | Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology[ISSN 0031-0182],v. 394, p. 99-118 |
