Abstract
El presente estudio recoge los resultados del estudio de la fábrica
magnética (ASM) del Cretácico Superior de las Sierras Interiores (Pirineo
Central). Las Sierras Interiores están afectadas por pliegues con foliación de
plano axial, de dirección E-W a ESE-WNW, que deforman a un sistema de
cabalgamientos previo (sistema de Larra-Monte Perdido). Nuestro objetivo
es correlacionar las fábricas magnéticas con la historia deformacional de
este sector, teniendo en cuenta que la ASM es un marcador de la
deformación muy sensible y puede registrar fases tectónicas difíciles de
identificar a partir de estudios mesoestructurales. Los datos de ASM indican
un máximo de lineaciones magnéticas subverticales en coordenadas
geográficas. En el 16% de las estaciones de muestreo, esta lineación
subvertical está contenida en el plano de foliación y evidencia la orientación
de la lineación de estiramiento dominante durante el desarrollo de la
foliación. Los ejes kmin pueden dividirse en dos grupos: (1) ejes distribuidos
en un plano subvertical de dirección N-S, que corresponden con foliaciones
magnéticas plegadas según la dirección dominante en las Sierras Interiores
y (2) ejes kmin subhorizontales con un máximo de dirección E-W a NE-SW,
que pueden estar relacionados con una mezcla de fábricas magnéticas
inversas y elipsoides asociados a un evento tectónico tardío, posterior al
desarrollo de la foliación
Magnetic fabrics (AMS) have been studied in the Upper Cretaceous units forming the Internal Sierras, in the Central Pyrenees.The Internal Sierras are affected by E-W to ESE-WNW-trending folds with axial planar cleavage that deform a previously developed thin-skinned thrust system. Our goal is to relate magnetic fabrics results to the deformation history of the area, taking into account that AMS is an extremely sensitive deformation marker that could register tectonic events that are not easy to identify at the mesoscopic scale. From the whole dataset we observed that magnetic lineations are dominantly subvertical in geographic coordinates. In 16% of the sites, these subvertical magnetic lineations are clearly within the cleavage plane and evidence the stretching direction during regional cleavage development. Kmin axes show a substantial dispersion but can be divided into two groups: (1) kmin axes forming a N-S-striking, subvertical girdle, that correspond to pre-folding magnetic foliations and (2) subhorizontal kmin axes with an E-W to NE-SW-trending maximum that could be result of a mixture of inverse magnetic fabrics and late tectonic, post-cleavage magnetic ellipsoids
