¡Hola! Necesitamos vuestra ayuda 🧵👇
Tenemos dos propuestas en los presupuestos participativos para mejorar el patio de nuestro cole, el CEIP Virgen del Cerro en Vallecas (más sombra y un espacio más natural adaptado a todas las necesidades).

6/ This detailed framework lays essential groundwork for future macroevolutionary and paleoecological research on Iberia's extinct small mammal faunas.
Stay tuned for future research!
Gomez Cano AR retweeted
5/ By doing so, we obtained a chronological framework spanning the last 25 million years, largely consistent with existing European and regional scales and flagging several sites whose inferred age doesn't match their traditional biochronological assignment.
Gomez Cano AR retweeted
4/ The fix: apply a Maximum Likelihood approach (ML AEO) to generate numerical ages for 381 Iberian Neogene–Quaternary fossil sites, directly from their small mammal faunal composition.
Gomez Cano AR retweeted
3/ The Iberian Peninsula has one of the most complete small mammal fossil records for the Neogene and Quaternary in the world, but it's scattered across multiple basins, making it hard to build one cohesive regional timeline.
Gomez Cano AR retweeted
2/ However, correlating fossil sites and ordering extinct faunas across regions has traditionally involved some subjectivity, since biological events were often diachronous across geography.
Gomez Cano AR retweeted
1/ 🦴🐁🐇 Small mammals (like rodents, lagomorphs, insectivores) are key biochronological tools: they evolve rapidly, their fossil record is abundant, and they respond precisely to past environmental changes.
Gomez Cano AR retweeted
Paper alert!!! 🚨🚨 How do you bring order to millions of years of history using tiny fossils? 🐭
We’ve just published a refined biochronological framework for the Neogene and Quaternary of the Iberian Peninsula in Earth-Science Reviews. 🧵
