Reconstrucción de una plataforma carbonatada Viseense no preservada en el Área del Guadiato (Córdoba, SO de España)

Abstract

Calcareous breccias from Antolin (Guadiato Área, Córdoba Province) have been analysed. Paleontological and sedimentological studies of those breccias, allowed a reconstruction of a not-preserved calcareous platform or ramp. Breccias from Antolin show six types of clasts and blocks: oolithic grainstones originated in calcareous shoals, coral-algal boundstones originated in patch-reefs, packstones that are mainly composed of solitary corals and brachiopods produced in shallow quiet waters, crinoidal packstones originated in crinoida! prairies, mudstones-wackestones with micropeloidal and cryptalgal textures that were originated in mud mounds and calcareous sandstones originated in a mixed ramp.

The debris flow was located in the photic zone of a middle, mixed ramp, because clasts show algal and bryozoan crusts; moreover, clasts and blocks show signs of short transportation
