Relación estructural entre los cuerpos peridotíticos situados al Norte y al Sur del Estrecho de Gibraltar

Abstract

The peridotite bodies of the Bedes and Rif, on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar, are intercaled among the highest units of the Alpujarride complex. Before Miocene times, they must have constituted an uitramaficsiab (several kilometers thick). This former slab was fragmented by large extensionai structures developed during the formation of the Gibraltar Arc and the Alboran Basin
