AB This paper analyzes the first systematic faunal record of the 1755 Lisbon tsunami in the Mediterranean.On the basis of sedimentological and paleontological features, the sedimentary record of a core collectedin Gibraltar was divided into six sedimentary facies, with a paleoenvironmental evolution from a shallowmarine paleoenviroment to an increasingly restricted lagoon. This record includes a bioclastic layerdeposited by the 1755 Lisbon tsunami and characterized by an erosive base, presence of basal rip-upclasts and abundant shell debris composed by marine and brackish molluscs. The paleoenvironmentalreconstruction derived from the foraminiferal analysis is congruent with that inferred from the sedimentaryand the macrofaunal reconstructions, with the introduction of brackish species into the innermost,intertidal areas of a confined lagoon. This paleontological record is the first faunal evidence of the 1755Lisbon tsunami in the Mediterranean.
