RT Journal Article T1 Tafonomía cuantitativa del yacimiento de Cacela (Tortoniense superior; Algarve, Sur de Portugal) T1 Quantitative taphonomy of the Cacela site (late Tortonian; Algarve, S Portugal) A1 Rico García, Alberto A1 Aguirre, J. A1 Civis-Llovera, Jorge A1 González Delgado, José Ángel A1 Alonso Gavilán, G. AB A quantitative taphonomic analysis were performed in the fossil assemblages of the late Tortonian of thelower-mid part of the Cacela Formation (Cacela, Algarve, S Portugal). Taphonomic results, together withsedimentological analysis and the faunal assemblages, allow to inferring palaeoenvironmental changes.The upper Tortonian sedimentation started with fan-delta conglomerates that quickly changed to outerplatformsilty marls deposited in a setting with a relatively low sedimentation rate as indicated by theconcentration of glauconite. Higher up into the section, a progressive shallowing trend is inferred, andsediments of inner platform settings were formed PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 2006 FD 2006 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8636 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8636 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
