Ichnological analysis as a tool for assessing deep-sea circulation in the westernmost Mediterranean over the last Glacial Cycle

Ichnological evidence for bottom water oxygenation during organic rich layer deposition in the westernmost Mediterranean over the Last Glacial Cycle

“…Recent works, focused on the same ODP Sites from the Alboran Sea Basin, demonstrate that there is a correlation between the ichnological features variations and palaeoceanographic conditions, especially in terms of changes in ventilation and benthic food availability (Casanova-Arenillas et al, 2021). Thus, the integration of ichnological information with other sedimentological characteristics is one key for understanding the palaeoenvironment associated with the different types of ORLs over the Last Glacial Cycle.…”
