：西地中海地区拥有丰富的不同类型的下、中、上中新世珊瑚礁（造礁珊瑚礁、非造礁丘、罗达尔生物基质和叠层礁）。由于露头的非凡品质及其与地中海争论性麦西尼亚事件的关系，与上托托阶-麦西尼亚岩石单元相对应的那些岩石单元最受关注。本节对该地区进行总体介绍，并对巴伦西亚-普罗旺斯盆地的中下新世罗达尔加尔生物群落和珊瑚礁以及西班牙东南部和摩洛哥北部的中上新世珊瑚礁进行了回顾。本文的重点是西班牙东南部（Betics）和摩洛哥北部（Rif）复杂的中新世地层和古地理。西地中海的这一部分对于了解整个地中海的古地理演化及其与大西洋的联系非常重要。
: The western Mediterranean region contains abundant examples of the different types of Lower, Middle and Upper Miocene reefs (hermatypic coral reefs, ahermatypic mounds, rhodalgal biostromes and stromatolitic reefs). Those corresponding to the Upper Tortonian-Messinian rock units are the ones that have attracted the most attention because of the extraordinary quality of the outcrops and their relation to the polemic Messinian events in the Mediterranean. This section is a general introduction to the region, with a review of the Lower-Middle Miocene rhodalgal biostromes and coral reefs of the Gulf of Valencia-Provençal Basin and the Middle-Upper Miocene reefs of southeastern Spain and northern Morocco. The emphasis in this paper will be on the complex Miocene stratigraphy and paleogeography of southeastern Spain (Betics) and northern Morocco (Rif). This part of the western Mediterranean is important in understanding the paleogeographic evolution of the entire Mediterranean and its connection with the Atlantic Ocean.
