Abstract
En esta investigación, se describen 148 fósiles de macromamíferos recuperados del yacimiento paleontológico de la Sierra de Quibas (Abanilla, Murcia) en las campañas 2015, 2016 y 2017. Se establece una clasificación morfológica y taxonómica, y se realiza su descripción tafonómica. Comparando la asociación faunística del Pleistoceno inferior en Quibas con la de yacimientos contemporáneos tanto en la península ibérica como del Norte de África, se pretenden obtener coincidencias taxonómicas que evidencien que un paso de fauna y humanos a través del Estrecho de Gibraltar durante el Pleistoceno, fue viable.
In this research, we describe 148 fossils of macromammals recovered from the paleontological site of Sierra de Quibas (Abanilla, Murcia) during the 2015, 2016 and 2017 campaigns. We have conducted a morphological and taxonomic classification, including comments on their taphonomic features. Comparing the faunistic association of the Early Pleistocene in Quibas with the contemporary deposits in both the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, we provide new data on taxonomic coincidences that enable to discuss if the migration of fauna and humans across the Strait of Gibraltar during the Pleistocene, was viable.
