Resumen

Fluvial paleovalleys provide critical data to study the temporal superposition of depositional environments during the Holocene postglacial sea-level rise. We study eight boreholes that reached bedrock and a short replicate extracted from the Oka Estuary (Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, southeastern Bay of Biscay). Benthic foraminifera and grain size allowed for paleoenvironmental reconstructions and radiocarbon dates put the sediment into a temporal framework.The sedimentary infill of the estuary shows a progressive shallowing of the estuary as rates of sea-level rise decreased during the Holocene: fluvial gravels on the bottom, marine and brackish intertidal sediments in the middle, and salt-marsh sediments on top. The sequence is topped by a few meters of anthropogenic deposits
