Abstract
Este trabajo analiza la sedimentología y evolución sedimentaria de la
Fm.Artoles (Barremiense) en el perfil estratigráfico Camino de Miravete (subcuenca
de Galve, España). El análisis sedimentológico ha permitido
diferenciar cuatro asociaciones de facies: lagoon mixto detrítico-carbonatado,
delta mareal de flujo, rampa media proximal y rampa media distal. La
evolución sedimentaria interpretada a partir de las asociaciones de facies,
indica la existencia de tres etapas sucesivas: I- lagoon carbonatado, II- rampa
media distal que prograda hacia rampa media proximal y III- sistema de
lagoon más abierto. La eustasia y la actividad tectónica pueden ser responsables
de la abrupta profundización definida entre los dos primeras etapas
The sedimentology and sedimentary evolution of the Barremian Artoles Fm in the Camino de Miravete section (Galve sub-basin, Spain) is presented. The detailed log of the stratigraphic succession together with facies analysis and fossil content have allowed the distinction of four main facies associations:mixed terrigenous-carbonate lagoon, flood-tidal delta, proximal middle ramp and distal middle ramp. The sedimentary evolution of facies associations characterizes three successive stages: I- restricted carbonate lagoon system, II- middle ramp system and III- turning back to another carbonate lagoon with more open facies. Eustasy and tectonics may be responsible of the abrupt deepening that took place between stages I and II
