Abstract

Se estudian cinco yacimientos de micromamiferos del Eoceno de la Cuenca del Duero, región de Zamora y Salamanca (Jambrina, Santa Clara, Babilafuente y Sanzoles) y de la región de Almazán (Miñana). Las faunas de micromamíferos aparecidas en ellos nos han permitido situar sus asociaciones en la escala cronológica del Paleógeno europeo (SCHMIDT-KITTLER, 1987) y datar asi con relativa precisión los tramos en los que se encuentran. Los yacimientos de Zamora corresponderfan al Neustriense -Rhenaniense, siendo el de Santa Clara Rhenaniense Medio (Eoceno Medio). El de Salamanca correspondería al Rhenaniense Superior (Eoceno Medio final) y el de Almazán al Eoceno Superior. La similitud de algunos elementos faunísticos hallados en Zamora con faunas asiáticas. [ABSTRACT] Five gisements of Eocene micromammals of Duero Basin in the Zamora (Jambrina, Santa Clara, Babilafuente and Sanzoles) and Almazán (Miñana) areas are studied. The associations of micromammals found can be placed in the Chronologic scale for the European Paleogene (as stablished by SCHMIDT-KITTLER, 1987) and, as a consequence, the deposits they occur in have been dated with certain accuracy. The deduced ages are: Zamora: Neusttian-Rhenanian; Santa Clara: Middle Rhenanian (Middle Eocene); Salamanca: Upper Rhenanian (Uppemrost Middle Eocene) and Almazán: Upper Eocene. The similitude of some faunistic elements found in Zamora with asiatic faunas are thought to be of biogeographical importance as far as the relationships between Europe and Asia during the Eocene times are concerned.
