El despegue extensional de Lahsene y los jirones de serpentinitas del anticlinal de Taryat (Melilla, Rif)

Abstract

The Taryat anticline, between Melilla and the Cabo Tres Forcas, folds an extensional detachment fault with SW transport sense. The fault is sealed by Tortonian marine sediments that were also folded. The hanging wall of the detachment is made up of brecciated slates andred sandstones, and the footwall consists of phyllites with chloritoid. These rock formations can be respectively attributed to the Maiaguide and Alpujarride complexes. Several serpentinite slices form part of the fault breccia
