Una fauna de foraminíferos en el Mioceno continental de la localidad de Buñol (provincia de Valencia)

A fauna of benthonic forarninifera was found in the continental Miocene from Buñol (Valencia, Spain). This fauna was considered as autochthonous, Two species were identified: Rosalina douvillei(CUSHMAN) and Quinqueloculinai seminula (LINNÉ). A few number of planktonic individuals were found.

Description
Summary:A fauna of benthonic forarninifera was found in the continental Miocene from Buñol (Valencia, Spain). This fauna was considered as autochthonous, Two species were identified: Rosalina douvillei(CUSHMAN) and Quinqueloculinai seminula (LINNÉ). A few number of planktonic individuals were found. These individuals were refered to the species Globorotalia cf. mayeri CUSHMAN & ELLISOR. The paleoenvironmental characteristics of this outcrops, taken into account the information obtained from benthonic foraminifera, and the bioestratigraphic data obtained from planktonic foraminifera are discussed. En el Mioceno continental de la localidad de Buñol (provincia de Valencia) se ha encontrado una fauna, relativamente abundante, de foraminíferos bentónicos, considerada como autóctona. Dos especies han sido identificadas: Rosalina douvillei (CUSHMAN) y Quinqueloculina seminula (LINNÉ). Aparecen, asimismo, escasos ejemplares de formas plantónicas atribuidas a Globorotalia cf. mayeri CUSHMAN y ELLISOR. Se comentan las características paleoambientales del yacimiento a partir de la información suministrada por los foraminíferos bentónicos, así como los datos bioestratigráficos aportados por las formas planctónicas.
