AB In the Alicante city and surrounding sectors the uppermost par t of the Messinian sequence (MII unit) ischaracterized by the stacking of shallowing upward cycles. The complete cycle star ts with beach sandstonesand ends with lagoonal marls which contains ostracods (Cyprideis), benthic forams (dominated by thegenus Ammonia) and chara algae. This fossil content is similar to that recorded in the well-known LagoMare facies in the Mediterranean. The upper boundary of the MII unit is a subaerial erosional surface (end-Messinian unconformity) that shows paleovalley infilled by fluvial deposits and scree breccias (MIII unit).Over this erosional surface were deposited the Pliocene unit, which is composed by a lower system (P1) ofmarine marls enriched in planktonic fossils, and an upper system (P2) dominated by coastal and shallowmarine clastic deposits. This Pliocene unit is the record of the marine flooding -Pliocene transgressionthatpost-date the Lago Mare period in the Mediterranean
