Abstract:This contribution examines the climate variations reflected by a mainly lacustrine succession spanning from 17.73 to 14.0 Ma in north‐east Iberia, thus encompassing the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO). The study is based on the δ13C and δ18O composition of an array of carbonate facies and marl samples, complemented with sedimentological analysis, illite crystallinity index and magnetic susceptibility data. The onset and ending of the MCO have been detected at ca 17.10‐17.06 Ma and 14.56 Ma, roughly equivalent t… Show more
