Abstract:In the subfossil, elevated coral reefs which form the Islas del Rosario, southwest of Cartagena (Colombia), 51 species of Gastropoda and 22 species of Pelecypoda were collected, all of them belonging to the recent Caribbean fauna. Even fragile shells could be obtained completely intact, which indicates the little age of these cliffs, as it has been estimated by two authors less than 10 000 years. An interesting species secured is Conus granulatus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
