Los ostrácodos lacustres del Mioceno terminal de Salar (Margen NO de la Cuenca de Granada, España)

Abstract

Three main episodes have been distinguished in the late Turolian lacustrine deposits of Salar (Granada Basin, Spain) on the basis of the ostracod faunaI assemblages. The first episode corresponds probably to a deep lacustrine (sublittoral) environment, with oligohaline and relatively cold waters. The second corresponds to a shallow (littoral) environment, with oligohaline to mesohaline waters, recording a chloride character. The late episode is that of a very shallow environment, partially of palustrlne type, with mesohaline to polyhaline waters and strong variations of salinity
