Tectonic breakup in the Eastern Betic zone
Six Paleogene-Aquitanian successions have been reconstructed in the Alicante area (eastern External Betic Zone). The lithofacies association evidences “catastrophic” syn-sedimentary tectonic processes consisting of slumps, mega-olisthostromes, “pillow-beds” and turbiditic deposits (Figure 1). This kind of sedimentation is related to unconformity surfaces delimiting sequence and para-sequence cycles in the stratigraphic record (Figure 2). The data compiled […]
Paleogene sedimentary evolution of the Alicante Trough
A new work to illustrate a changes in the evolution of the Alicante Trough located to the southeastern part of the sudiberian paleomargin and north to the supposed elevated sea floor forming a marine platform. Here the link to the work in Repository of the UA. The Paleogene Alicante Trough of the South-Iberian Margin (External Betic […]
