Figures & data
FIGURE 1. Area of study in the Alcoy Basin, highlighting the main geological subdivisions of the Betic Range (above), and location of the El Muro, Bancales, and Castillo Barchell fossil sites referenced in the present study, as well as the Moli Palla locality for some of the fossils from the “Museo Paleontológico y de las Ciencias Isurus (Alcoy).”
FIGURE 2. Labial and lingual views of the elasmobranch tooth microremains recovered from the Alcoy Basin fossil sites. A, Trigonognathus sp. MGUV-39898; B, Chlamydoselachus sp. MGUV-39949; C, Deania calcea MGUV-39943; D, cf. †Squaliodalatias weltoni MGUV-39944; E, Scyliorhinus canicula MGUV-39950; F, †Megascyliorhinus sp. MGUV-39952; G, Scyliorhinus sp. MGUV-39951; H, Galeorhinus sp. MGUV-39953; I, cf. Rajiformes MGUV-39888. All scale bars represent 500 µm.
FIGURE 3. Labial and lingual views of the elasmobranch tooth macroremains from the Alcoy collections of the “Museo Paleontológico y de las Ciencias Isurus (Alcoy),” and extracted from the aforementioned fossil sites. A, †Otodus megalodon MGUV-39832; B, †Carcharodon hastalis CVAI00770; C, †Carcharias acutissima CVAI00775; D, Carcharias sp. CVAI00777; E, †Notorynchus primigenius CVAI00779; F, Carcharhinus sp. CVAI00762; G, Galeocerdo sp. CVAI00761; H, cf. Isurus sp. CVAI00773; I, †Hemipristis serra CVAI00764; J, Dasyatidae indet. CVAI00767; K, Myliobatidae indet. CVAI00780. All scale bars represent 1 cm.
TABLE 1. Taxonomic classification, divided in planktonic and benthonic habitat usage and number of specimens of the foraminiferal assemblage extracted from El Muro.
FIGURE 4. Depth estimation employing weighted bootstrap analysis of the elasmobranch faunal composition, considering both A, the members of Batoidea, and B, and excluding them. The mean depth estimation is represented by the line, while the 95% confidence interval for the most probable depth range of the assemblage is illustrated as a shadow.
