SM2. Selected data from the MIS 5.5 (or MIS 5e) marine deposits of the Canary Islands, Spain

This data
set contains a selection of reliable data from the Marine Isotope Stage MIS
5.5, or MIS 5e, 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 Radiometric ages,
including a short geological description of the marine deposits, their
radiometric ages and dating methods; (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).
