The El Guincho Paleontological Zone is located on the beach of Bunker in the beach area of the Americas in Arona, on the island from Tenerie. The importance of the site has made it declared B of Interest Culture with the category of Paleontological Zone.
The paleontological site is a deposit of the quaternary, in it you can find mollusks typical of tropical areas that were formed in a warmer time than the current one about 100,000 years ago during the last interglacial
Geologically speaking, the marine deposit is situated in the Upper Pleistocene, corresponding to the Neoterrinian-Holocene.
The site has two paleontological levels, in the lower one you can see abundant remains of Patella conadei, along with other gastropods like Thais Haemastoma, encompassed in the calcareous matrix. In the upper level cemented by calcareous algae, in which you can see testimonies of warm fauna.
The paleontological zone Playa del Bunker-El Guincho is formed by a stretch of low coast formed by a raised beach of very cemented ridges and sand. Above them, some remains of a fossil dune system that occupies the upper part of the formation appear sporadically. A place that keeps a lot of information about the formation of the island.
