Zusammenfassung

The large mammals palaeontological site Fonelas P-1 (late Pliocene) is included in a stratigraphic succession characterizing a meandering fluvial system running along the axial palaeovalley of the Guadix Basin (Granada province, southern Spain). Sedimentological analysis allows us to recognize five facies assemblages belonging to: A) high sinuosity channel infill, B) overbank of the channel, C) progressive abandonment of the channel, D) flood plain, and E) chaotic bioturbated fill. The fossil remains are linked mainly to facies E, interpreted as due to the stamping of the large mammals on the soft channel abandonment facies.
