Sea-Level Highstand 81,000 Years Ago in Mallorca
Jeffrey A. Dorale,Bogdan P. Onac,Joan J. Fornós,Joaquín Ginés,Àngel Ginés,Paola Tuccimei,David W. Peate +6 more
TL;DR: Using speleothem encrustations from coastal caves on the island of Mallorca, it is determined that western Mediterranean relative sea level was ~1 meter above modern sea level ~81,000 years ago during marine isotope stage (MIS) 5a, corroborate an alternative view that MIS 5a was at least as ice-free as the present and challenge the prevailing view of MIS 5 sea-level history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracks and trackways of Myotragus balearicus Bate (Artiodactyla, Caprinae) in Pleistocene aeolianites from Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean)
TL;DR: In this paper, Bate et al. studied the tracks and trackways of a ruminant goat in the Late Pleistocene aeolianites of the south coast of Mallorca, Spain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperate carbonates on a modern, low-energy, isolated ramp; the Balearic Platform, Spain
Joan J. Fornós,Wayne M. Ahr +1 more
TL;DR: This article presented a depositional model for a temperate, low-energy carbonate ramp based on descriptive studies of five areas around the Balearic Islands of Mallorca and Menorca.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Pleistocene Paleoclimates and sea-level change in the Mediterranean as inferred from stable isotope and U-series studies of overgrowths on speleothems, Mallorca, Spain
TL;DR: In this article, a number of phreatic overgrowths on speleothems have been dated using the Th/U method in order to determine the position of the sea level during Late Quaternary.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Using phreatic overgrowths on speleothems, sea level during the mid-Piacenzian Warm Period, which was about two to three degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial period, is shown to have been about 16 metres higher than today.
