Trip advice

[salvo1989s]

Hi I will be on Mallorca island for 3 days next week , anyone know some good hunting spot? I'm planning to hunt a little while enjoying the sea.

I do not know of any specific locations. A detailed introduction to the

geology of this island that should help can be found in:

 

Silva, P.G., Goy, J.L., Zazo, C., Giménez, J., Fornós, J., Cabero, A., Bardají,

T., Mateos, R., González-Hernández, F.M., Hillaire-Marcel, C.L. and Bassam,

G., 2005, September. Mallorca Island: geomorphological evolution and

neotectonics. In Field Trip Guides of Sixth International Conference on

Geomorphology (Vol. 2, pp. 433-472). University of Zaragoza Zaragoza.

Also, there is:

I hope this helps.

Not having had the pleasure of visiting Mallorca myself, I'll add some articles  to the list that Paul has already provided:

 

Bover, P., et al. (2014). The Cova de Pas de Vallgornera (Llucmajor, Mallorca): a singular deposit bearing an exceptional well preserved Early Pleistocene vertebrate fauna. International Journal of Speleology, 43(2).

Bover, P., et al. (2014). Late Miocene/Early Pliocene vertebrate fauna from Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean): an update. Integrative Zoology, 9.

Clemmensen, L.B., et al. (2001). Cliff-front aeolian and colluvial deposits, Mallorca, Western Mediterranean: a record of climatic and environmental change during the last glacial period. Bulletin of the Geological Society of Denmark, 48.

Kettle, S. (2011). Sedimented carbonates from the Jurassic of Mallorca. Masters Thesis - University of Birmingham.

 

Apparently, Mallorca has sediments spanning the Paleozoic through the Holocene!  I'm looking forward to seeing what you find!
