A synthesis about the Neogene and Quaternary of Algarve (Southern Portugal) is presented. New isotopic 87Sr/86Sr ages as well as biostratigraphic data about the Miocene deposits allow to present a new stratigraphic frame for the previously characterized units. The Lagos-Portimão Formation corresponds to deposits of temperate carbonate platform sedimentological type, developed during a long time span (Lower Burd...
Neogene marine mammals are still incompletely known in Portugal. However, a general overview of the geographic and stratigraphic distribution of marine mammal localities in the Miocene of Portugal is already possible. An attempt of correlation between the trends shown by these distributions and the horizontal and vertical environmental shifts is presented. In general, sirenians occur in deposits representing sh...
Pela sua grande riqueza paleontológica, sobretudo no que diz respeito a fósseis miocénicos,as arribas litorais e ribeirinhas do Concelho de Almada merecem ser incluídas no Património Paleontológico Português, de acordo com critérios científicos, pedagógicos e culturais, entre outros. Enumeram-se razões justificativas dessa inclusão, para algumas jazidas seleccionadas, consideradas mais representativas da totali...
