Abstract A Late Pleistocene surface full of tracks and trackways (named ‘Matalascanas Trampled Surface’) has been exposed at the base of the ‘El Asperillo’ cliff (Donana National Park, Matalascanas, Huelva, southwestern Spain) as a result of recent storms. This surface has been identified as the bottom of the unit AU1, according to the local stratigraphic section, and originated during the marine stage MIS-5 (∼106 ± 19 kyr). This trampled surface records exceptional tracks and trackways of different terrestrial vertebrates. In particular, three morphotypes of tracks ascribed to Artiodactyla (the auroch Bos primigenius? the red deer Cervus elaphus and wild boar Sus scrofa), one to Elephantidae (Palaeoloxodon antiquus), one of Canidae (Canis lupus), and three to waterbirds (geese, Anserinae, and waders, Charadrii) have been identified. This ichnoassociation is characteristic of a shorebird ichnofacies. We interpret this trampled surface to have been related to puddled areas of shallow waters in an inter-dune position, similar to present day examples in the Donana National Park.

多纳纳国家公园（西班牙西部韦尔瓦）MIS-5 环境中的第一条脊椎动物足迹和古环境

摘要 由于最近的风暴，在“El Asperillo”悬崖（多纳纳国家公园，马塔拉斯卡纳斯，韦尔瓦，西班牙西南部）的底部暴露了一个充满轨道和轨道的晚更新世表面（命名为“Matalascanas 践踏表面”）。根据当地地层剖面，该表面已被确定为单元 AU1 的底部，起源于海洋阶段 MIS-5（~106 ± 19 kyr）。这个被践踏的表面记录了不同陆生脊椎动物的特殊轨迹和轨迹。特别是，三种轨迹的形态类型归因于偶蹄目（auroch Bos primigenius？马鹿 Cervus elaphus 和野猪 Sus scrofa），一种属于象科（Palaeoloxodon antiquus），一种属于犬科（Canis lupus），三种属于水鸟, Anserinae 和涉禽, Charadrii) 已被确定。这种 ichnoassociation 是滨鸟 ichnfacies 的特征。我们将这个被践踏的表面解释为与沙丘间浅水区的水坑区域有关，类似于当今多纳纳国家公园的例子。
