Abstract
The stratigraphie and floristic studies of two sections in the lacustrine deposits of the Miocene basin of Rubielos de Mora increase our knowledge of palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic conditions and specify the biochronology of these sites. The lowlands are inhabited by a swampy, or lacustrine, vegetation ( Botryococcus, Sparganium, Potamogeton, Taxodiaceae, Myrica, Nyssa…), whereas the uplands are covered by a Zelkova mesophilous forest with other temperate elements ( Acer, Betula, Carya…). The scarcity of thermophilous taxa in this vegetation indicates that the climatic conditions were not the warmest in the Miocene. The rodents faunas of this basin suggest a Ramblian-basal Aragonian age (Lower Miocene).
