El Pérmico y Triásico del anticlinal de La Rodana, SE de la Cordillera Ibérica (Valencia)

Abstract

The stratigraphical and sedimentological study of the Rodarías Anticline, SE Iberian Ranges (Valencia Province,

Spain), allows to differentiate five lithostratigraphical units represented by sediments of Upper Permian-Middle Triassic age. The three lower units, of alluvial origin, correspond to the Landete, Cañizar and Eslida Fms, previously described as "Saxonian" and Buntsandstein fades by other authors in neighbouring areas.

The upper two units are herein called "unidad mixta" and "unidad carbonática" and represent alluvial to marine transitional environments and a shallow marine carbonatic platform in R6t and Muschelkalk fades respectively. A correlation essay with Permian-Triassic sediments of neighbouring regions allows us to consider that the transition from the classical Permian-Triassic fades of the Iberian Ranges to the Levantino-Balear domain is located few kilometres to the west of the La Rodana Anticline
