Six species have been recognised; Schizechinus duciei and Plagiobrissus costae are rather common. This association and its taphonomic signature suggest a shallow marine depositional environment in the infralittoral, characterised by coarse detritic bottoms and variable hidrodynamic energy. This echinoid association corroborates the attribution of the studied sediments to the MessinianspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/EchinoidsCalcarenitic faciesMessinianUpper MioceneAlcalá de GuadaíraSevillajournal articleopen access
