Propuesta de correlación entre los sedimentos Pérmicos y Triásicos de la Cordillera Ibérica Este y de las Islas Baleares

Abstract

The sedimentary record of Permian and Triassic age exposed in the Balearic Island is reasonably well dated, and several unconformities and breaks of sedimentation have been identified inside it. A combination of lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic criteria allow for a formation-scale correlation between both geographic areas that also show a very similar extensional tectonic evolution during these periods. Lateral changes of facies in the Muschelkalk and Keuper facies are also shown, indicating, as expected, the presence of more open, shallow marine facies in the Balearic Island during the Middle and Late Triassic
