General palaeontology, systematics and evolution (Vertebrate palaeontology) Early Late Miocene insectivores (Eulipotyphla, Mammalia) from the Cañada section (Province of Zaragoza, east Central Spain). [PDF]
Vallesian (early Late Miocene) strata from the recently introduced Ca˜nada section (province of Zaragoza, east Central Spain) have yielded fairly large insectivore assemblages. These show that, after the generally dry Aragonian, the Vallesian gave rise
