Study of the Mio-Pliocene transit in continental facies in the Valencian Community

Description

Several outcrops are studied in CV containing palaeontological deposits from the Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene (5-6 Ma), which record the so-called Messinian Salinity Crisis, which involved the drying of the Mediterranean and a faunal exchange between Africa and the Iberian Peninsula.
