Abstract

The Messinian and Pliocene record of the Bajo Segura Basin has been analysed by multivariate detendred correspondence analysis (DCA). The obtained results enables a comprehensive and synthetic examination of the sedimentary record, considering the distribution of benthic and planktic foraminifera (ecological groups) recorded in six representative sections of the basin, three on the northern sector (Colmenar, Torrellano and Elche) and three on the southern part (Garruchal, La Pedrera and El Canal). From the statistical analysis, contrasted with the bibliographical sources available, it can be concluded that: a) the southern sector presents, in comparison with the northern sector, a greater diversity of marine environments; and b) the three analysed synthems have their own characteristics in terms of variety and representation of their registered sedimentary environments.
