Josep Tosquella Angrill

Josep Tosquella Angrill is a University Professor at the Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Experimental Sciences, University of Huelva. His research focuses on Paleontology, Stratigraphy, and Sedimentology, with a particular emphasis on Cenozoic sedimentary systems and biostratigraphic correlations.

• Education: PhD from the University of Barcelona (1996) with thesis Els nummulitinae del paleoce-eoce inferior de la conca sudpirinenca, supervised by Dr. Josep Serra-Kiel.

Research Highlights:

• Refined chronostratigraphic frameworks for the Early/Middle Eocene boundary using cyclostratigraphy in Pyrenean sections.
• Documented tsunamiite layers from the 1755 Lisbon Tsunami in Gibraltar through mineralogical and paleontological analysis.
• Investigated Roman fish-salting workshops in SW Spain, integrating geological and archaeological contexts.
• Contributed to larger foraminiferal biostratigraphy across Paleocene-Eocene Tethyan successions.

Publications span topics from Eocene carbonate platforms, Neogene sedimentary cycles in southern Spain, and taphonomic studies of Middle Eocene vertebrates. His work reveals strong interdisciplinary ties between geological processes and historical environmental changes.
