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).
