“…in QS-1.3 would probably suggest locally wetter and more forested environmental conditions than in the overlying units in the sequence. This is consistent with the record of the anguid Ophisaurus manchenioi in the base of Quibas-Cueva, correlated with QS-1, a taxon linked to subtropical humid conditions 31 .…”

In this paper, the early Pleistocene small vertebrate sequence of Quibas-Sima (Quibas karstic complex, Murcia, SE Spain) is presented. The available magnetostratigraphic information together with the small vertebrate association, allow to reliably constrain the age of the different units. The basal unit of the section has recorded a reversed polarity assigned to the pre-Jaramillo Matuyama (C1r.2r, i.e., between 1.2 and 1.07 Ma). The intermediate units have recorded a normal polarity correlated directly with the Jaramillo subchron (C1r.1n, between 1.07 and 0.99 Ma), while the upper units record the post-Jaramillo reverse polarity (C1r.1r, i.e., between 0.99 and 0.78). Jaramillo subchron is especially significant regarding the earliest hominin dispersal in Western Europe. However, vertebrate faunas unambiguously correlatable with Jaramillo subchron are extremely rare in Europe. Thereby, the study of the Quibas-Sima sequence allows to characterize the vertebrate association synchronous to this paleomagnetic episode in southern Iberian Peninsula, and contributes to increase knowledge of the biotic and climatic events that took place in southern Europe at the beginning of the Early-Middle Pleistocene transition, prior to the Matuyama-Brunhes boundary. A continuous small vertebrate succession has been reported, including representatives of the families Bufonidae,

“…HWM is based on distributing each amphibian and squamate taxon in the habitat(s) where they can be found currently in the Iberian Peninsula. With the exception of a few residual Early Pleistocene taxa (Bailon and Blain, 2007;Blain et al, 2016a;Blain and Bailon, 2019), Iberian Pleistocene amphibians and squamate reptiles are specifically identical García (1994). Modified from Garralda et al (2014a).…”
