AB This paper presents the easternmost mineralogical and geochemical evidence of the 1755Lisbon tsunami found in the Western Mediterranean. This multidisciplinary analysis of a sedimentcore obtained in Gibraltar (southern Iberian Peninsula) has allowed us to differentiate a tsunamiitefrom an old lagoon (The Inundation). This tsunamigenic layer has increased levels of calcite andaragonite and higher concentrations of Ba and ferromagnesian elements in comparison with theunderlying lagoonal sediments of this core. This layer is also differentiated by its paleontologicalrecord, with the introduction of marine species within this lagoon. The uppermost part of the coreincludes a transition from swampy/marsh paleoenvironments to terrestrial scenarios, with a finalanthropogenic filling occurring during the last century
