Cronologia dels travertins de Llorà (Girona)

With the aim of radiocarbon dating Llora travertines, chemical and isotopic data of strearn water and present travertines have been analyzed. The purpose is to determine the radiocarbon activity of present travertines in order to assign an initial radiocarbon activity to the old ones. Applying this methodology we conclude that travertines are from Holocen age around 4.000 years BP

Oscil.lacions del nivell del mar i sediments associats durant l'Holocè a la Costa Brava Meridional (Girona)

Several marine deposits in the southern Costa Brava shoreline have been studied. They appear at different heights above and below the present sea level. Three groups are defined in relation to their origin: conglomerate levels at the bottom of the cliffs, not-cemented emerged beaches and cemented submerged beaches. The age of the emerged beaches has been accurately determined by means of the ceramic content and radiocarbon dating. Chronological succession of the deposits and their stratigraphic and paleontological characteristics allow to define a sequence of the sea level changes during the latest stages of the versiliane transgression in the studied area
