RT Journal Article T1 La plataforma urgoniana aptiense del sur de Bilbao (valle de Bolintxu): organización estratigráfica y evolución T1 The Aptian Urgonian platform to the south of Bilbao (Bolintxu valley): stratigraphy and evolution A1 García Mondéjar, Joaquín A1 Fernández Mendiola, Pedro Ángel A1 Millán, María Isabel A1 Mendicoa, Jone AB An Aptian rudist limestone unit, up to 200m thick and extending more than 3km, lies 2km to thesouth of Bilbao. The stratigraphy and mapping of the limestones in the Bolintxu valley reveal diachronouslower and upper boundaries grading laterally to sandy and marly facies respectively. A carbonate rampmodel with southeastwards backstepping in three pulses indicates a deepening upward trend. Depositionaldip of the ramp down to the west suggests westward tilting and development of enhanced subsident areasto the west. The orbitolinids indicate an Early Aptian (Late Bedoulian) age for the nuclear part of the ramp YR 2009 FD 2009 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/7975 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/7975 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
