RT Journal Article T1 ¿Por qué son tan diferentes las sierras de Crevillente y Abanilla? T1 Why are so different the Crevillente and Abanilla mountain ranges ? A1 Tent Manclús, José Enrique A1 Yébenes, Alfonso A1 Estévez, Antonio AB The Crevillente and Abanilla mountain ranges form the same structural lineation but show a quite differentmorphology. The first one is made by calcareous rocks mainly jurassic and cretaceous likewise the Abanillais made by keuper facies which includes blocks. This keuper facies are not Triassic but Miocene which areinterpreted as an ancient salt glacier. Their different litologies of both sierras is due to the activity of thePuerto de Barinas Fault, a transverse fault to the Crevillente-Abanilla lineament. This litological differencein the same structural lineament could be explained as produced before (pre-late Tortonian) the elevationof both sierras (latest Messinian) PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 2004 FD 2004 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8889 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8889 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
