Abstract Bryozoans are common and diverse in fossil modern coral reefs. However, studies of bryozoans ancient reefs generally limited, even less is known about bryozoan faunas associated with the Caribbean region. This second contribution describing assemblage from early Miocene (Aquitanian) Siamaná Formation La Guajira Peninsula, southern Caribbean. Here, we describe illustrate 17 species asco...

The Miño River is one of the main Atlantic basins Iberia and preserves extensive Pleistocene deposits. However, there presently limited information concerning first human occupation history this region. Existing research undertaken across region has identified a significant number Large Flake Acheulean (LFA) sites with African affinities. These are associated former fluvial environments now pre...

The Limagne Basin (Massif Central, France) originated during a major, European-scale, extensive event (European Cenozoic Rift System), which led to the formation of several rift systems in foreland Alps between Upper Eocene and Pliocene. A fluvio-lacustrine system emplaced basin resulted mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sedimentation microbial metazoan buildups occupy an important place. However, ...
