AB The stratigraphic basis of this work has allowed the use of larger foraminifers in the biostratigraphic characterisationof the new Shallow Benthic Zones (SBZ). This part of the volume presents a description of the sedimentarycycles formed by the transgressive-regressive systems of the Lutetian and Bartonian in the southeastern sectorof the Ebro Foreland Basin. Concerning the Lutetian deposits studied in the Amer-Vic and Empordà areas,four sedimentary cycles have been characterised. The first and second are found within the Tavertet/GironaLimestone Formation (Reguant, 1967; Pallí, 1972), while the third and fourth cycles cover the Coll de MallaMarl Formation (Clavell et al., 1970), the Bracons Formation (Gich, 1969, 1972), the Banyoles Marl Formation(Almela and Ríos, 1943), and the Bellmunt Formation (Gich, 1969, 1972). In the Bartonian deposits studied inthe Igualada area, two transgressive-regressive sedimentary cycles have been characterised in the Collbàs Formation(Ferrer, 1971), the Igualada Formation (Ferrer, 1971), and the Tossa Formation (Ferrer, 1971). The ShallowBenthic Zones (SBZs) recognised within the Lutetian are the following: SBZ 13, from the Early Lutetian, inthe transgressive system of the first cycle; SBZ 14, from the Middle Lutetian, in the second cycle and the lowerpart of the transgressive system of the third cycle; SBZ 15, from the Middle Lutetian, in the remaining parts ofthe third system; SBZ 16, from the Late Lutetian, throughout the fourth cycle. The association of largerforaminifers in the first and second cycles of the Bartonian in the Igualada area has been used as the basis for thedefinition of SBZs 17 and 18 recognised in the Bartonian of the western Tethys.
