Issue Date: | 2007 | Journal: | Global and Planetary Change | Abstract: | Several islands in the Canarian archipelago show marine deposits with identical fossil faunas, which are generally assigned to different glacioeustatic marine episodes: mainly Pleistocene episodes in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, and Mio-Pliocene ones in Gran Canaria. Three fossil species (Saccostrea chili, Nerita emiliana and Strombus coronatus) characterize all the marine deposits from southern Lanzarote, to the west and south of Fuerteventura and northeast of Gran Canaria. Three other species (Ancilla glandiformis, Rothpletzia rudista and Siderastraea miocenica) confirm the chronostratigraphic attribution of these deposits. Other more occasional fossils (as Chlamys latissima, Isognomon soldanii and Clypeaster aegyptiacus) fit an upper Miocene and lower Pliocene age. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/17956 | ISSN: | 0921-8181 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2006.11.040 | Source: | Global and Planetary Change [ISSN 0921-8181], v. 57 (3-4), p. 222-234, (Junio 2007) |
