Selected Data from the Holocene marine deposits of the Canary Islands, Spain.

This data set contains a selection
of reliable data from the main Holocene marine sites of paleontological and
paleoclimatic interest from the Canary Islands, Spain. There are three sections:
(1) Topographical Location of the selected sites, in terms of UTM coordinates
and heights (m), above the present medium sea level (a.p.s.l.); (2) Geology and
Radiocarbon ages, including a short geological description of the marine
deposits and their conventional and calibrated ages; (3) paleontology and paleoclimate,
with a summary of the main fossil fauna, species and/or subspecies, collected
from the sites and properly classified in accordance with the systematic paleontology;
and an interpretation of the paleoclimatic conditions at the time the fossils
lived and were deposited. Moreover, when available, values of SST (Sea Surface
Temperature) have been also calculated (or estimated). Each section is presented with their available
scientific source(s).
