La paleontología de vertebrados en Canarias

Abstract

Las Islas Canarias se localizan geograficamente al NO del continente africano. Su origen es volcánico. Las características geológicas del Archipiélago condicionan los tipos de yacimientos favorables a la preservación de los restos fósiles. Los más importantes son los tubos volcánicos. Otros yacimientos se encuentran en tobas volcánicas, dunas fósiles, derrubios de lade­ras y playas fósiles. Los restos fósiles de vertebrados conocidos en el archipiélago pertenecen a peces, reptiles, aves y mamíferos, faltando los anfibios que fueron introducidos por el hombre. En Canarias la fauna fósil de vertebrados presenta algunos ejemplos de gigantismo (Gallotia y Canariomys), así como cierta tendencia al apterismo en aves. Los aspectos tratados en las investigaciones paleontológicas han sido, entre otros, la descripción, el origen, relaciones filogenéticas, las adaptaciones morfológicas de las distintas especies y la aproximación bioestratigráfica y biocronológica. Se han descrito dieciseis especies endémicas, de ellas ocho corresponden a reptiles terrestres, cuatro a mamíferos y cuatro a aves. El registro fósil de vertebrados se extiende desde el Mioceno al Holoceno. En este trabajo se hace una revisión de las investigaciones realizadas y de la legislación vigente sobre Paleontología en el Archipiélago, y se trata la problemática de la falta de protección de los yacimientos.
