Abstract

We present 45 new paleontological sites with fossil mammals, their faunal lists and the syntethic stratigraphic column from the Campisano ravine in the Araia/Mas de Antolino outcrop (Ribesalbes-Alcora Basin; Valencian Community, E Spain). The synthetic stratigraphic column of this basin is divided into fve units, named A to E in Anadón (X Congr Nac Sedimentol 1:9–12, 1983), and for the frst time, we report a detailed stratigraphic column of Unit C, in which the studied sites are included. This ravine is divided into the following sections: Mas dels Coixos, Mas de Torner, Araia Cantera Sud, Barranc de Campisano, Foieta la Sarra, Mas d’Antolino B and Corral de Brisca. Based on the study of more than 3000 faunal remains from these localities, we infer a lower Aragonian age (MN4, Early Miocene). Particularly, the described sections can be correlated to the local biozone C, in the upper part of the MN4 of the Calatayud-Montalbán Basin (Spain), the type area of the Aragonian age.
