| General information |
The natural area of study of the group is the Mediterranean basin, but we extend beyond this scope to deposits of differents ages and geographical zones which provide us the experience and a wider vision on the geological history and the life evolution. In the Mediterranean framework, the study of the paleobiology is basic to understand the geological history of terrestrial and marine ecosystems in an area that has been affected by a regional crisis (the Messinian dessiccation) and by climatic and paleoenvironmental changes that have conditioned the composition of modern faunas and floras. Our main areas of expertise are invertebrate paleontology (specially, mollusks and echinoderms), ichnology (bioturbation and bioerosion) and taphonomy. |

The
main interest of our research group is to explore the changes (biologic,
climatic, geographic) that took place in the last 25 milion years based on the information provided by
fossils of marine organisms.
