Resumen
Detailed petrographic observations of Upper Proterozoic-Lower Cambrian deposits of the Castañar de Ibor allows the characterization of the diagenetic history of these rocks. Graywackes, shales and limestones were deposited during the Upper Proterozoic-Lower Cambrian within a siliciclastic-carbonatic marine platform. Dolomite replaced mostly limestones, but also cemented the siliciclastic deposits. Later on magnesium-rich fluids circulating along stylolites, bedding planes and fractures partially produced the replacement of the dolostones and some siliciclastic beds. Finally, a new dolomitisation phase produced replacement of the magnesite by dolomite and dolomite cementation.
