Abstract

In this work we develop an up-to-date stratigraphical scheme of a determinate zone within the western sector of the Guadix Basin (Betic Cordillera, South of Spain), where most of the main large-mammal sites are concentrated.
The stratigraphical architecture is highly influenced in this sector by the tectonic evolution of the basin. The boundary between the two main genetic units represents a change in the rate of creation of new accommodation space. This change can be assumed as a consequence of the slow down of the tectonic subsidence in the area through the Pliocene and the Pleistocene.
