AB Benthic foraminifer assemblages of two Early Pliocene sections located between Elche and Crevillente arestudied. In both sucessions three stratigraphic units are distinguished: P0 Unit, littoral conglomerates(transgressive lag); P1 Unit, pelagic marl-dominated interval; and P2 Unit, shallow marine calcarenites.Benthic foraminifers in the P1 and P2 Units are grouped in three main paleoecological categories: shallowwater euryhaline (A), intermediate water (B), and deep water stenohaline (C). Distribution trends in thesepaleoecological groups, planctonic/benthonic ratios, and sedimentological data permit the reconstructionof the Early Pliocene paleoenvironmental evolution of this area. End-Messinian unconformity correspondsto an incissed valley, subsequently filled with Early Pliocene marls (P1). The acommodation space reductiondetermined the progressive decrease of the planctonic and the deep water stenohaline benthic foraminifers
