The Eocene carbonate platforms of the westernmost Tethys: a review
According to the prevailing view in literature, two Eocene carbonate platform belts developed on northern and southern margins of the Tethys Ocean. However, Eocene platforms in the Malaguide −Ghomaride Units (Betic-Rifian Arc; Spain and Morocco, respectively) in intermediate position to the classic platform belts have been proposed in recent literature. A number of representative Ypresian […]
New biostratigraphic data on the Paleocene-Eocene from the Prebetic
A biostratigraphic study of the Paleocene-Eocene of the stratigraphically continuous with the northern foreland (Iberian Meseta), Prebetic has been studied by using planktonic foraminifera, calcareous nannoplankton, and larger benthic foraminifera. Twelve sections have been studied along the chain: four sections in the Alicante Sector, four in the Murcia Sector, two in the Granada Sector, and two sections in the Jaén […]
Eocene carbonate platform of the Malaguides of the westermost Tethys
The Eocene Peñicas (Almería) and Harania (Málaga) stratigraphic sections from the Malaguide Complex (Betic Cordillera, South Spain) belonging to the Mesomediterranean Microplate from the westernmost Tethys (about 35◦N) have been studied. The Eocene sections cover the Cuisian to middle Lutetian deposits, which show several lithofacies representing shallow marine platform realms. Based on the fossiliferous assemblage, […]
