RT Journal Article T1 Bioestratigrafía basada en foraminíferos planctónicos para el Mioceno superior y Plioceno de la Cuenca del Bajo Segura (Cordillera Bética oriental) T1 Late Miocene and Pliocene planktonic foraminifer biostratigraphy of the Bajo Segura Basin (eastern Betic Cordillera) A1 Corbí, Hugo A1 Soria, Jesús M. A1 Pina, José Antonio AB The planktonic foraminifers biostratigraphy is crucial in order to precise the timing of the main tectono- sedimentary and palaeogeographic events through the evolution of the Bajo Segura Basin. Our results indicates that the marine stratigraphic record of the basin spans from the earliest late Miocene to the early Pliocene. For this temporal interval, all the recent, astronomically calibrated, planktonic foraminifers biozones had been documented. The oldest depositional stage in the basin is marked by a regional-scale transgression in coincidence with the MMÍ9 biozone (early Tortonian). The 'youngest basin-wide marine episode occurs at the MPl4a biozone (Zanclean). The Messinian Salinity Crisis, as a specially noticeable event in the Mediterranean domain, is bracketed between the last Messinian biozone (MMi13c) and the first Pliocene biozone (MPI1) YR 2010 FD 2010 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/7835 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/7835 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 14 jul 2026
