Ilerdian to the early Bartonian, showing a transgressive sequence interrupted by intermittent sedimentary gaps, which are indicated by surfaces of discontinuity. These sediments correspond essentially to carbonatic facies with benthic foraminifers deposited in a shallow platform that was maintained probably until the late Lutetian. The abrupt rupture of this platform allowed, during the early Bartonian, sedimentation of pelagic to hemipelagic facies in a bathyal sedimentary environment. Later, the sudden interruption of the sedimentation in the early Bartonian, indicated by a paleosoil, may be better explained by tectonic reason than eustatism taking into account many actual geodynamic reconstructionsspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/BiostratigraphyLarger foraminiferaPlanktonic foraminiferaPaleogeneGomaridesRifjournal articleopen access
