Control tectónico en la evolución de una plataforma liásica aislada en las Cordilleras Béticas (Prov. de Murcia y Almería)

Abstract

The evolution of a genetic unit of the Lias to the North of Velez-Rubio (External Zones of the Betic Cordilleras, South-east of Spain) has been studied. This unit, at its lower and upper boundaries, is limited by intra-Sinemurian and intra-Upper Carixian sedimentary breaks. Different factors that controlled the evolution of the basin during this period of time have been analysed; from this we can deduce that the role of tectonics could be dominant as contrasted with that of eustasy
