El estudio de los foraminíferos planctónicos contenidos en 53 muestras recogidas en Tomares (región de El Aljarafe, Sevilla), ha permitido reconocer tres biozonas: zona de Globorotalia margaritse-Globoquadrina debiscens, zona de Globorotalia puncticulata s.l. y zona de Globorotalia crassaformis.La primera biozona citada se asigna al Messinense superior y las restantes al Zanclense.La primera aparición de Globorotalia sphericomiozea coincide en estos materiales con la extinción de Globoquadrina debiscens.Este último dato ha sido utilizado en el presente trabajo para marcar el límite MiocenoPlioceno. Palabras clave: Foraminíferos planct6nicos, límite Mioceno-Plioceno, Tomares (Sevilla).ABSTRAer planktonic foraminifera from 53 samples coming from Tomares (El Aljarafe, Sevilla) were investigated, allowing tbe identification of tbree biozones: GloborotaJúl margaritse-Globoquadrina dehiscens Zone, Globorotalia puncticuJats s.l. Zone and Globorotalia crassaiormis Zone.Tbe first one is assigned lo tbe Upper Messinian and otbers to tbe Zanclian.Tbe first evolutionary appearance of Globorotalia punctÍculata sphericomiozea is virtually syncbronous witb tbe extinction of Globoquadrina debiscens and tbe last event may serve as useful criteria in determining tbe position of tbe Miocene-Pliocene boundary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
