dc.description.abstractThe Cambrian outcrops within the Zafra-Alanís Domain, southwest Iberia contain the type localities of several trilobite genera, including Alanisia, Saukianda, Perrector, Eops, Andalusiana, Protaldonia, and nine trilobite species. These fossils are attributed to the Marianian regional Stage, spanning from the upper Stage 3 to the lower Stage 4 of Cambrian Series 2. Despite their significance, the biostratigraphy of these outcrops has remained understudied due to the scarcity of continuous stratigraphic sections and the lack of comprehensive biostratigraphic research in this region. In this work, we present a refined trilobite biostratigraphic framework by examining ten newly established stratigraphic sections bearing trilobite fossils of the Zafra-Alanís Domain, on the Northern flank of the Olivenza-Monesterio Antiform, spanning across the Badajoz and Seville provinces. This framework constitutes the foundation for future zonation of the Marianian Stage and contributes to a more precise understanding for international correlation. The Cambrian tectonosedimentary blocks of the Ossa-Morena Zone, formed due to the rifting process in southwestern Iberia during Cambrian times, extend into southwestern Spain and eastern Portugal. A revised delineation of these blocks has been carried out, including a new outline of the Feria Fault, now identified as the Guadalcanal-Assumar Fault. In addition, the stratigraphic and palaeontological analysis of the Cambrian outcrops in the Seville province (Sierra Morena de Sevilla Natural Park - UNESCO Global Geopark) allows their inclusion within the recently defined Viar-Benalija basines_ES
dc.description.abstractLos afloramientos del Dominio Zafra-Alanís, suroeste de Iberia, contienen las localidades tipo de varios géneros de trilobites: Alanisia, Saukianda, Perrector, Eops, Andalusiana, Protaldonia, y de nueve especies de trilobites. Estos fósiles son característicos del piso Marianiense, en la escala regional, que abarcaría desde la parte superior del Piso 3 hasta la inferior del Piso 4 de la Serie 2 del Cámbrico. A pesar de la importancia paleontológica de estos afloramientos, el estudio detallado de los mismos ha sido escaso, debido a la falta de secciones estratigráficas continuas y de un análisis bioestratigráfico exhaustivo en la región. En este trabajo se presenta una bioestratigrafía detallada, a partir de los datos de diez secciones con trilobites situadas en el Dominio de Zafra-Alanís, en el flanco norte del Antiforme de Olivenza-Monesterio, en las provincias de Badajoz y Sevilla. Este marco de trabajo es la base para el establecimiento de una detallada zonación con trilobites del Piso Marianiense que, además, contribuirá a una correlación internacional más precisa. Las cubetas tectonosedimentarias de la Zona de Ossa-Morena, formadas durante la etapa de rifting en el suroeste de Iberia durante el Cámbrico, se extienden por el suroeste de España y este de Portugal. Se revisan los límites de estas cubetas, destacando la delimitación más precisa de la falla de Feria, ahora identificada como la falla de Guadalcanal-Assumar. Además, el análisis estratigráfico y paleontológico de los afloramientos cámbricos de la provincia de Sevilla (Parque Natural Sierra Morena de Sevilla - Geoparque Global UNESCO), permite su inclusión dentro de la cubeta de Viar-Benalija, recientemente definidaes_ES

dc.description.sponsorshipThis work is a tribute to Dr Teodoro Palacios for his work in the study of the Precambrian and Cambrian of the Iberian Peninsula. He also regularly collaborated with us in the MAGNA Project (IGME) sampling many of the localities studied here. We thank Sören Jensen (Extremadura University, UNEX) for inviting us to participate in the tribute to Teodoro Palacios in Badajoz and for improving the original manuscript as well as to James Holmes (Uppsala University) and two anonymous referees. Thanks to Isabel Pérez Urresti, who assisted us with fossil photography. In 1982, EL and Teodoro Palacios (TP) visited the Cambrian outcrops in Alentejo to sample their respective successions, with assistance of Francisco Gonçalves from the University of Évora. EL and TP took part in the teams on the sheets 898-Puebla de Maestre (Apalategui Isasa et al. 1990) and 899-Guadalcanal (Apalategui Isasa et al. 1983) in 1980 and 1983, respectively. In 1996, EL, TP and RG explored the Cambrian sections of the OMZ in Portugal, receiving geological guidance from Manuel Francisco Pereira and Luis Lopes of the Évora University, to whom we are grateful. The present work has been carried out with financial help from Junta de Andalucía to the RNM 276 Research Group and the Centro Científico-Tecnológico de Huelva (CCTH). LC is supported by Portuguese fund by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portugal) in the frame of the UI/DB/151298/2021 project. The cited and depicted trilobite material is held in the Museo de Ciencias Naturales of the Zaragoza University (MPZ 2023/272–284; MPZ 2022/770–799; MPZ2022/817–830 and MPZ 2022/840–859 Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Naturees_ES
