Taphonomic results, together with sedimentological analysis and the faunal assemblages, allow to inferring palaeoenvironmental changes. The upper Tortonian sedimentation started with fan-delta conglomerates that quickly changed to outerplatform silty marls deposited in a setting with a relatively low sedimentation rate as indicated by the concentration of glauconite. Higher up into the section, a progressive shallowing trend is inferred, and sediments of inner platform settings were formed}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, title = {Tafonomía cuantitativa del yacimiento de Cacela (Tortoniense superior; Algarve, Sur de Portugal)}, title = {Quantitative taphonomy of the Cacela site (late Tortonian; Algarve, S Portugal)}, author = {Rico García, Alberto and Aguirre, J. and Civis-Llovera, Jorge and González Delgado, José Ángel and Alonso Gavilán, G.}, }
