Abstract

The Calatayud-Daroca and Teruel basins (NE Spain) show a very complete sedimentary and faunal record of the Spanish continental Neogene. The stratotypes for the Ramblian, Aragonian, Turolian and Alfambrian stages have been defined in these basins. Moreover, the Vallesian is well recorded especially in the northern Teruel Basin. This paper gives a state-of-the-art summary of the available information generated in the latest years by detailed sedimentological, biostratigraphical and magnetostratigraphical studies of the Neogene deposits of the basins. Recent results concerning the Aragonian-Vallesian boundary in the Daroca-Nombrevilla area are presented. A general integrated scheme of the magnetostratigraphic logs obtained from a large number of stratigraphic sections throughout the region is also included. Preliminary palaeoclimatic evolutionary curves (humidity/ temperature) are proposed for the Miocene stratigraphic record of the basins. The curves have been inferred from detailed analysis of the micromammal associations found in an extremely dense succession of mammal localities. Differences in the palaeoclimatic curves proposed for Calatayud-Daroca and Teruel may be explained by the use of different methodologies. Discrepancies between sedimentological and faunal based interpretations of the palaeoclimatic evolution of some intervals of the Miocene are discussed.
