Abstract

This paper deals with a sedimentological palaeontological and paleontological analysis of the Piedrabuena Water Well paleontological site (Ciudad Real, Campo de Calatrava, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain). The fossil mammal remains were accumulated by means of a low efficiency transport fan system, with mass transport mechanisms, which filled the whole of the Piedrabuena Depression: a circular shaped basin sorrounded by Paleozoic rocks (quartzites and shales). Neogene sedimentation evolved towards expansive palustrine carbonate sediments towards the top of the unit. The faunal assemblage composed of Rodentia indet., cf. Oryctolagus sp., Felis cf. issiodorensis, Hyaena sp., Dicerorhinus cf. etruscus, Sus minor, Cervidae indet (big sized), Cervidae Indet. (small sized), Gazella borbonica> and Hippotraginae indet. This fauna is characteristic of the Ruscinian-Villafranchian transition.
