In this sector, one of the most extensive outcrops of these deposits are in the sourroundings of the village of Corcolilla (Alpuente). Until the present their age is uncertain, although has been assigned to the Pliocene. These materials have 170 meters of thickness and they cover an extension of 5 km2. They were deposited in an small halfgraben basin. These deposits consist of megabrechas, conglomerates, sandstones and clays, sedimented in alluvial-fan environments. In distal palustrine sandstones and grey mudstones four fossil sites have been located containing microvertebrate remains. In them has been determined the presence of Apodemus atavus, Mimomys sp, Trischizolagus sp. and Soricidae indet. This faunal association suggests, for the group of studied locations, a Lower Pliocene age, among the units MN14 and MN15. A great part of these deposits is contemporary with th...

This new species of Plesiodimylus is an amblyodont form of the genus and exhibits some primitive characters. The phylogenetic and palaeoenvironmental implications of this southern occurrence of Plesiodimylus in Lower Miocene sediments are discussed.

abaigari, Stephanomys dubari, Apocricetus barrierei, Sciuridae indet. and Asoriculus cf. gibberodon the former, and Apodemus gorafensis,
Paraethomys aff. abaigari, Stephanomys dubari, Apocricetus barrierei, Sciuridae indet., Asoriculus cf. gibberodon, Castillomys gracilis,
Occitanomys brailloni, Occitanomys sp., Paraethomys meini, Ruscinomys sp., Eliomys intermedius, Debruijnimys cf. julii and Atlantoxerus
sp. the latter. Based on the study of these micromammal assemblages, we propose an Early Pliocene age (MN14) for both sites. The presence a gerbilid related to Debruijnimys julii in La Bullana 2B open new questions about the phylogenetic relationship between Debruijnimys species from the Miocene and Pliocene of the Iberian Peninsula. Furthermore, preliminary paleomagnetic data indicate an age between
4.997 Ma and 4.896 Ma for La Bullana 2B, and between 5.235 Ma and 4.997 Ma for La Bullana 3.
