Eocene Gravity Flows in the Betic Cordillera, Spain
In the Betic-Rif Cordilleras, recent works have evidenced the existence of well-developed Eocene (Ypresian-Bartonian) carbonate platforms rich in Larger Benthic Foraminifera (LBF). Contrarily to other sectors of the western Tethys, like the Pyrenean domain in the North Iberian Margin, where these platforms started in the early Ypresian (Ilerdian), in the Betic-Rif chains, the recorded Eocene […]
Geosciences, Volume 15, Issue 3 (March 2025)
The march issue of the Geoscience journas has a cover story dealing with the newly published paper in that issue by Tosquella et al. (2025) of our group. In the Betic-Rif Cordilleras the Eocene platforms started in the Cuisian after a gap including the Ilerdian. An Eocene succession with gravity flows consisting of turbidites and […]
Paleocene-Eocene evolution of the Prebetics (South Spain) and comparison with other western Tethyan margins
Thirteen Paleocene-Eocene sections have been studied along the Prebetic Domain (South Iberian Margin) in the Alicante, Murcia, Granada, and Jaen Sectors. The sedimentary realms (mostly consisting in 15 shallow marine Lithofacies) and the tectono-sedimentary evolution were characterized. Three informal stratigraphic units were proposed and dated with planktic foraminifera, calcareous nannoplankton, and Larger Benthic Foraminifera (LBF): […]
Spanish Geological Congress in Avila
A paper on geological cycles during the Eocene in the Prebetic (SE Spain) was presented at the XI Spanish Geological Congress held Ávila (Spain) from July 1 to 6, 2024. The picture show the poster and the participant José Enrique Tent-Manclús. Cite as: Tent-Manclús, J. E., Martín-Martín, M., Miclăuș, C., Tosquella, J., Serrano, F. y […]
Field work in the Eocene Prebetic II
The rain in Spain… Well the second field work campaign in the Eocene Prebetic was conditional by the bad weather, rain, wind, snow and cold. The picture shows the members of the team imply in this field try to the Eocene rocks within the provinces of Alicante and Murcia. This is the second field season […]
Field work in the Eocene Prebetic
The good weather in Alicante during the winter season has permitted to do the first field season of our project of the Spanish research agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación) of the Spanish Science and innovation minister (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) entitle as “EVOLUCION TECTONO-DEPOSICIONAL DE CUENCAS SEDIMENTARIAS CENOZOICAS: CARACTERIZACION 2D-3D Y MEJORA DE PATRONES […]
