TL;DR: The findings at Barranc de la Boella suggest that early LCT lithic assemblages appeared in the SW of Europe during earlier hominin dispersal episodes before the definitive colonization of temperate Eurasia took place.

TL;DR: Martinez-Delclos et al. as discussed by the authors have studied the behavior of different kinds of terrestrial insects trapped on the water surface by the surface tension and the physical conditions that permit submersion and thus the settling on the bottom and later fossilization.

TL;DR: In this paper, Clauzon et al. re-assert the two-step scenario of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) with the following events: at 5971-5600 Ma, minor sea-level fall resulting in the desiccation of this peripheral basin with secondary fluctuations, and at 5600-5460 Ma, significant subaerial erosion (or lack of sedimentation).

TL;DR: Animal bioerosion trace fossils upon mineral substrates are analyzed from the point of view of the Seilacherian ethological classification and point out a lower behavioral diversity of hard substrate trace fossils when compared with soft sediment trace fossils.

TL;DR: In this paper, bioerosion traces from six rocky shore localities in the Miocene Tarragona basin are described, and the assemblages, although slightly different among localities, can be tipified as a Gastrochaenolites-Entobia assemblage which belongs to the Entobia Ichnofacies which characterizes littoral rockground environments since the Jurassic.
