Full textThis doctoral dissertation provides an updated review of the fossil carnivorans (Mammalia: Carnivora) from the Miocene of the Vallès-‐Penedès Basin. Situated in NE Iberian Peninsula, this basin is characterized by a rich fossiliferous record of terrestrial vertebrates. While some groups, such as primates, have been thoroughly studied, the fossil record of carnivorans had not been studied in detail for several decades. After three introductory chapters devoted to carnivoran phylogeny and anatomy, the general methods employed in the dissertation, and the geological and biostratigraphic framework of the Vallès-‐Penedès Basin, the main body of the dissertation is composed of five chapters devoted to the biostratigraphy of Western Eurasia (with emphasis on the Vallès-‐Penedès Basin) as well as to the taxonomy and phylogeny of selected groups of carnivorans. In particular, these chapters provide emended diagnoses and cladistic analyses of various taxa— Trocharion albanense (Mustelidae: Leptarctinae) and Albanosmilus jourdani (Barbourofelidae)—based on previously unpublished remains from this basin. These chapters further describe new remains of various felids from the genera Styriofelis (Felidae: Felinae), Pseudaelurus (Felidae: Felinae) and Machairodus (Felidae: Machairodontinae), and on their basis they review their chronostratigraphic distribution in the Vallès-‐Penedès Basin. Significant taxonomic contributions are also done in the appendices of the work. In one of them, a new genus, Kretzoiarctos (Ursidae: Ailuropodinae)—representing the earliest recorded member of the giant panda lineage—is described, and their implications for ursid evolution are discussed. In the other appendix, the whole carnivoran record of the Miocene from the Vallès-‐Penedès Basin is reviewed and updated based on the revision of the available fossil remains. The results of the dissertation are integrated and summarized in the discussion and conclusions, which provide a summary review of the evolutionary history of the Carnivora in the Vallès-‐Penedès Basin. Overal, this dissertation provides an update of the known fossil record of carnivorans in this basin, mostly from a taxonomic and phylogenetic viewpoint, but further exploring its paleobiogeographic and biostratigraphic implications. It is concluded that 55 carnivoran species, belonging to 11 families, are currently recorded in the Miocene of the Vallès-‐Penedès Basin. Changes in carnivoran paleobiodiversity through time in this basin are further discussed. Besides the contributions to the knowledge of carnivoran evolution in general, and of the vertebrate fossil record of the Vallès-‐ Penedès Basin in particular, this dissertaion further highlights the need to perform detailed taxonomic studies before using paleontological data published long ago for performing studies of diversity dynamics.

Full textEl registro de roedores del Mioceno inferior y principios del Mioceno medio (finales del Rambliense hasta el Aragoniense medio; ca. 19-15 Ma) del Vallès-Penedès (Cataluña, Nordeste de España) es mucho más rico y continuo de lo que se pensaba. Esta tesis esta centrad en la descripción de la fauna de cricétidos durante esta época y en sus implicaciones bioestratigráficas, paleobiogeográficas y paleoambientales. El cuerpo principal de esta tesis se centra en el estudio sistemático de los cricétidos de todas las localidades de la cuenca del Vallès-Penedès durante el Mioceno inferior y principios del Mioceno medio. El material estudiado consta de casi unos 1000 dientes aislados así como de fragmentos maxilares y mandibulares y también de un cráneo parcial. En el registro de roedores de la cuenca del Vallès-Penedes encontramos cuatro géneros diferentes durante este tiempo (final del Rambliense – Aragoniense medio, MN3-MN5). El cricétido arcaico Melissiodon dominans es común en la zona A dl Rambliense (ca. 19.3-17.2 Ma), antes de la dispersión de los llamados “cricétidos modernos” de los géneros Democricetodon y Megacricetodon. Estos cricétidos modernos son componentes dominantes de las faunas Aragonienses (ca. 1.5-15 Ma) e incluyen cuatro especies del genero Democricetodon (D. hispanicus, D. cf. decipiens, D. gracilis, D. sp. 4) y una del género Megacricetodon (M. primitivus). El paracricetodontino Eumyarion weinfurteri y los últimos Melissiodon dominans completan la asociación de cricétidos aunque las dos son especies generalmente raras. En general, la sucesión de cricétidos del Mioceno inferior muestra varias afinidades con la zona tipo del Aragoniense, la cuenca de Calatayud-Montalbán (Aragón, España), permitiendo así el uso de la misma bioestratigrafía local de alta definición, incluyendo solo unas pocas modificaciones. A demás, las faunas del Vallès-Penedès presentan algunas similitudes con las faunas de Europa central. Los resultados bioestratigraficos combinados con los magnetoestratigráficos permiten la precisar la edad de algunos eventos bióticos importantes que caracterizan el Mioceno inferior, incluyendo eventos de dispersión de especies de otros continentes a Europa occidental. Finalmente, se reconstruyen les condiciones paleoclimáticas regionales entre ca. 19 y 15 Ma en base a la fauna de pequeños mamíferos y se compara con otros registros de Europa occidental. Los patrones de paleoprecipitación inferidos a partir de la estructura de la comunidad de pequeños mamíferos indica una aridificación regional coincidiendo con el Óptimo Climático del Mioceno medio de entre hace 16.5 y 15 Ma. A demás el Vallès-Penedès es conocidos como una área de transición entre la bioprovíncia de centro Europa, más boscosa e húmeda, y la bioprovíncia centro Ibérica, más árida y con estacionalidad mascada en el régimen de precipitaciones. Esta situación que ya era conocida anteriormente en el Mioceno medio e inicios del Mioceno superior ya existía al principio de esta época.
The early and early middle Miocene (late Ramblian to middle Aragonian; ca. 19-15 Ma) rodent record of the Vallès-Penedès Basin (Catalonia, north-eastern Spain) is far richer and more continuous than previously thought. This thesis is centered in the description of the cricetid fauna from this time interval and its biostratigrahical, paleobiogeographical and paleoenvironmental implications. The systematic study of the cricetid fauna of all known early and early middle Miocene sites from the Vallès-Penedès Basin defines the main body of this work. The studied material comprises nearly 1,000 isolated molars as well as some mandibular fragments and even a partial skull. Four cricetid genera occur in the early to early middle Miocene (late Ramblian-middle Aragonian, MN3-MN5) record of the Vallès-Penedès Basin. The archaic cricetid Melissiodon dominans is common during Ramblian zone A (ca. 19.3-17.2 Ma) a before the dispersal of the so-called ‘modern cricetids’ of the genera Democricetodon and Megacricetodon. Modern cricetids are dominant components ofAragonian zone C and early zone D faunas (ca. 16.5-15 Ma) and include four species of the genus Democricetodon (D. hispanicus, D. cf. decipiens, D. gracilis, D. sp. 4) and one of the genus Megacricetodon (M. primitivus). The paracricetodontine Eumyarion weinfurteri and the last Melissiodon dominans complete the cricetid assemblage, but both species are generally rare. Overall the early Miocene cricetid succession shows several affinities with that from the Aragonian type area, the Calatayud-Montalbán Basin (Aragon, east-central Spain) allowing the use of the same high-resolution local biostratigraphy, with only minor differences. Moreover, Vallès-Penedès faunas also show a few similarities with the central European ones. Biostratigraphical results are combined with novel magnetostratigraphic data allow constraining the age of several major regional to continental bioevents that characterize the early Miocene, including dispersal events from other continents into Western Europe. Finally, small mammal faunas are used to reconstruct regional paleoclimate between ca. 19 and 15 Ma and to compare it with other Western Europe records. Rainfall patterns are inferred from small-mammal community structure and indicate regional aridification coinciding with the height of the mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum between 16.5 and 15 Ma. The Vallès-Penedès is further recognized as a transitional area between the forested and humid central European bioprovince and the more arid and rainfall seasonal inner Iberian bioprovince. Such situation, which had previously been recognized for the middle and early late Miocene already existed at the beginning of this epoch.

Full text1. The present study includes a survey of the heavy metals in detrital material from Miocene collected in the Vallès-Penedès basin, and a survey of heavy metals in detrital material from the latest Holocene, so as to compare both of them. 2. Some practical considerations to improve methodology to identify and separate heavy metals in the lab. 3. It is cited for the first time the presence of APS minerals in Miocene and Holocene. Its source area has been located at the base of the Triassic (Permian-Triassic/lower Buntsandstein), their physico-chemical properties of these minerals are studied. It is proposed that their formation was within a lateritic medium, with possible supergene enrichment. 4. It has been made a comprehensive review on both morphological and physico-chemicalcharacteristics of gold particles taken in different sampling points, which were estimated according to their possible source area. Traditional methods for measuring SFC and IA are reviewed. There are proposed alternatives to measure the weight and gold particles when they are so small that is very difficult to handle them. 5. Holocene sands and gravels are studied and compared with those of Miocene along the present river beds. Anthropogenic materials and their origin are also described. 5.1- The distributions of the abundance of the most important heavy metal is shown in a EW map. Some of the most representative outcrops are located near or equidistant from the mountains that delimit the northern fault of the basin. In some cases it is shown their paleographic value. 5.2- The gathered heavy metals are described by means of words and images, so as to facilitate their visual identification in future studies. 6. From an economical point of view it has made clear that none of the mineral particles analyzed are valuable, since their amount (grams/ton) is below the minimum necessary level to think about future prospective plans in that area, regarding the current price of metal. 7. New research fronts are opened. They are exposed in the conclusions of each chapter and summarized in the final results section.

Full textThe Vallès-Penedès Basin is a crucial area for the study of the mammal succession of the European Miocene, since its abundant record covers nearly the totality of this period. Recently, thanks to the extension works of a rubbish dump, the so-called "Abocador de Can Mata" (ACM) at Els Hostalets de Pierola (l'Anoia, Barcelona), the number of known micro- and macromammal sites has doubled. The study of the micromammal faunas of the stratigraphic series of the ACM has added important data for the definition of the biozones MN 7 and MN 8, which now are based in isolated sites from France and Germany. We have also proposed biostratigraphic correlation for the Late Aragonian of the Vallès-Penedès Basin to other Iberian basins such as Calatayud-Teruel. Concerning the rodents of the ACM series, a new species of castorid is described: Chalicomys n. sp. This species already shows a mode of aquatic locomotion very similar to that of the extant beaver. A new site which has yielded an abundant sample of micro- and macrofauna, Barranc de Can Vila 1 (BCV1), was discovered during the extension works of the ACM. This site has also provided a remarkably complete skeleton of a new species of great ape: Pierolapithecus catalaunicus. The study of the rodents of BCV1 allows us to chronologically place this site in the lower part of MN 7+8, that is between 12.5 and 12 Ma. Accordingly this locality represents the oldest record of great apes in the Iberian Peninsula. The taphonomical study of the remains recovered at BCV1 reveals that different taphonomical agents were involved in the origin of the accumulation. Predation is recognized as the main accumulation agent in the case of the primate individual. In contrast, the accumulation of the rest of the fossils does not seem related to the action of predators and/or scavengers. The micromammal fauna from BCV1 indicates the presence of a humid subtropical forest environment as opposed to the clearly dryer an more open environment dominant in inner Spanish basins. This fact may account for the absence of great apes in those areas during the Miocene. Straight after that the composition and structure of rodent taxocenosis from the latest Aragonian and the Vallesian of the Vallès-Penedès Basin is compared with those of two Iberian basins (Calatayud-Teruel and Duero). The results of the multivariate statistic analyses show that the rodent paleocommunities of the Vallès-Penedès are markedly different from those of the inner Spanish basins during most of the considered time span. The environment in the Vallès-Penedès Basin appears to have been more humid and forested, being similar to that occurring at higher latitudes. At the Early/Late Vallesian boundary (at 9.7 Ma) an abrupt change in the rodent paleocommunities of all the basins is recorded. This period witnesses a shift towards lower-diversity faunas dominated by one or a few genera. The biogeographic differentiation existing in the Iberian Peninsula is retained and even increases during the Late Vallesian. This abrupt change is known as the Vallesian Crisis and also affected the macromammal communities, implying in both cases the extinction of forms of characteristic of the Middle Miocene and adapted to warm forest environments. That ultimately resulted in a decrease of diversity. By the means of different techniques we show that this extinction event did not affected other areas of Europe, where diversity remained stable or even increased.
