(2024) The Arrifes geosite: a fascinating glimpse into an Early Cretaceous ecosystem within the Algarvensis aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (Portugal). In: 17th European Geoparks Conference 2024, Abstract Book, Reykjanes, Iceland, 2-6 October, 2024, p. 237-238http://hdl.handle.net/10400.9/4460ABSTRACT: Over a century after Paul Choffat's initial description of the Arrifes section, a pioneering figure in Portuguese geology who highlighted the vertical arrangement of the strata and the occurrence of a limestone bed containing a copious quantity of orbitolinid tests, this upper Barremian–lower Aptian stratigraphic succession, which is fully exposed along a coastal cliff section located 2.5 km west-southwest of Albufeira (Algarve, southern Portugal), has become one of the most outstanding geosites within the Algarvensis aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark.engGeoheritageEarly CretaceousPaleophytogeographyPalynostratigraphyAlgarve BasinPortugalconference object
