SM3. Selected data from the MIS 11 marine deposits of the Canary Islands, Spain

This data set contains a
selection of reliable data from the main MIS (Marine Isotope Stage) 11 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).
