Short summary
Large boulders have been found on platforms that comprise the rocky coastline of Minorca (Balearic Islands), several tens of meters from the edge of the cliff, up to 15 m above the sea level, and kilometers away from any inland escarpment. The age of the boulders, the direction of imbrication and the estimation of run-up necessary for their placement indicate dislodging and transport by northern Africa tsunami waves that hit the coastline of Minorca.
