Rhodoliths and trace fossils record stabilization of a fan-delta system: An example from the Mio-Pliocene deposits of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain). Journal of Palaeogeography, 14(4), 100266. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jop.2025.1002662095-3836 (electrónico)https://hdl.handle.net/10272/27499Fan-delta systems are geomorphological structures and sedimentary records seldom preserved on oceanic volcanic islands. The generally coarse-grained deposits belonging to the Las Palmas Detritic Formation (Mio-Pliocene) at the Las Rehoyas section, NE part of Gran Canaria Island (Canary Islands, Spain), contain abundant but relatively small rhodoliths, non-nucleated, in partly bioturbated (Skolithos ichnofacies) sand-dominated strata. This section consists of four sedimentary units deposited in a fan-delta system that developed on a marine platform in the northeastern part of the island. The system was flooded during the late Miocene to early Pliocene, a non-eruptive phase on Gran Canaria Island. Stabilization of the fan delta due to a relative rise in sea level enabled colonization by burrowing organisms and the development of rhodoliths, which were redeposited by storms from the lower shoreface–offshore to the foreshore–middle shoreface environment.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Coralline red algaeTrace fossilPalaeoenvironmental interpretationVolcanic islandLas Palmas Detritic FormationMacaronesian islandsjournal article10.1016/j.jop.2025.100266open access2506.18 Sedimentología2506.07 Geomorfología
