Abstract


The Valdecebro Rambla, located in the Northeast of Teruel (Central Spain), is known by the existence of important miocene mammal localities: Masía del Barbo, Vivero de Pinos, Arquillo de la Fontana, Arquillo 3, etc, They are all aged between Upper Vallesian and Middle Pliocene. A new locality, Valdecebro 5 (VDC 5), is studied in this paper. It permits us to affirm the presence of Middle Turolian sediments, not yet documented, in the Rambla. The rodent fauna contains Occitanomys adroveri, Parapodemus barbarae, Ruscinomys schaubi and Eliomys truci. The macromammals are mainly represented by carnivores: Indarctos atticus, Baranogale adroveri, Thalasictis aff. hipparionum and Lycyaena chaeretis, further on Hipparion concudense concudense and two indetermined artiodactils. The biostratigraphical data of the new bed, just as others known before, are reflected in a detailed geological scheme of Rambla de Valdecebro. This scheme is placed in the general geological context of the miocene Teruel Basin.
