Reconocimiento de acumulaciones travertínicas fósiles en la Fm. Aguilar (Kimmeridgiense-Berriasiense de Palencia y Burgos): implicaciones paleoecológicas y paleohidrológicas

Abstract

Fossil travertine deposits have been recognized in the Aguilar Fm., which are intercalated vyithin the typical lacüstrine/palustrine limestones of this unit. Microscopically, they are characterised by numerous plant, remains and microscopically by abundant features atributáble to microbial, activity. The travertine accumulation occurred next to an important fault line that was contemporaneously active. 'Because of that; they are thought to record former hot-springs within a discharge-type water inflow system
