Mamíferos del Turoliense inferior de Puente Minero (Teruel, España)

Abstract

El yacimiento de Puente Minero (Teruel) ha suministrado una abundante y diversificada fauna de micro y macromamíferos que se ha datado como perteneciente al Turoliense inferior. Se han determinado catorce taxones de micromamíferos, destacando la abundancia de múridos (representados por las especies Occitanomys sondaari, Parapodemus cf.lugdunensis y Valerymys vireti) y de cricétidos (Hyspanomys freudenthali y Kowalskia fahlbuschi). También son muy numerosos los restos del lagomorfo Prolagus crusafonti. Otros taxones determinados, presentes en menor cantidad, son los roedores Eozapus intermedius, Eliomys truci, Heteroxerus cf. grivensis y Chalicomys sp., así como tres especies de insectívoros, y un quiróptero, Rhinolophus delphinensis. Los macromamíferos también se caracterizan por su diversidad de especies (quince taxones determinados) pero, salvo en los casos de Hipparion y Tragoportax, el material perteneciente a cada uno de ellos no es muy numeroso. La mayor parte de los restos corresponde a Hipparion, representado por dos especies, el común Hipparion primigenium y otra especie de talla pequeña, Hipparion gromovae, sólo conocida hasta el momento en el Turoliense superior. También abunda la especie Tragoportax gaudryi, bóvido común durante todo el Turoliense. Otras formas determinadas son cinco especies de carnívoros, cinco de artiodáctilos, una de perisodáctilo y una de proboscídeo. En este trabajo se describen los micromamíferos, los carnívoros y los artiodáctilos. La asociación de micromamíferos se parece a la de los yacimientos de Alfambra, Tortajada A, Valdecebro 4, Los Aguanaces y Vivero de Pinos, todos ellos situados en las proximidades de Puente Minero y cuya edad corresponde al Turoliense inferior (MN 11). El conjunto de macromamíferos, por su parte, se correlaciona con los de Piera (Vallés-Penedés) y Crevillente 2 (Alicante), ambos atribuidos también al Turoliense inferior. El interés de este trabajo radica en la documentación paleontológica de una edad poco conocida todavía y en la que son raros los hallazgos conjuntos de micro y macromamíferos.

The Puente Minero (Teruel) locality has provided an abundant and diversified micro and macromammal fauna dated as lower Turolian. Fourteen micromammal taxa have been identified, with abundant murids (represented by the species Occitanomys sondaari, Parapodemus cf. lugdunensis, and Valerymys vireti) and cricetids (Hispanomys freudenthali and Kowalskia fahlbuschi). There are also numerous remains of the lagomorph Prolagus crusafonti. Other taxa determined, present in smaller numbers, are the rodents Eozapus intermedius, Eliomys truci, Heteroxerus cf. grivensis and Chalicomys sp., as well as three species of insectivores and the bat Rhinolophus delphinensis. The macromammal fauna is also noteworthy for the diversity (15 taxa) but, except for Hipparion and Tragoportax, the other species are poorly represented. The large part of these remains correspond to Hipparion, represented by two species, the common Hipparion primigenium and the small-sized Hipparion gromovae, only known to have existed, until now, during the late Turolian. The species Tragoportax gaudryi, a common bovid during the Turolian is also well represented. Other macromammals present are five species of carnivores, five artiodactyls, one perissodactyl, and one proboscidean. The micromammals, the carnivores, and the artiodactyls are described in this paper. The association of the micromammals is similar to those of the Alfambra, Tortajada A, Valdecebro 4, Los Aguanaces and Vivero de Pinos localities, all of wich are situated near Puente Minero and are of early Turolian (MN 11) age. As for the macromammal group, they are similar to Piera (Vallés-Penedés) and Crevillente 2 (Alicante), both of wich are also attributed to lower Turolian. The interest of this work is in the paleontological documentation of a period still widely unknown and in which it is rare to find micro and macromammals together.
