El Cretácico terminal y paleoceno de la Sierra del Carche (dominio prebético, Jumilla)Caracterización estratigráfica y sedimentológica.

Resumen

The lTliéj CalTlpanian td Pa/eotehe section in Sierra del Carche Oumilia, Prebetic Domain, SE Spain) consists of 125ineters ofcarbdnates and marls deposited in open platform environments. FaCies analysis of these rockS characterize three major tiricbhfbiriities (mid Maastrichtiari, Jatest Maastrichtiari to earliest Pa/ebcerie, and mid Pa/eocene in ag~), éind define the rnain changes in bathyrnetry occLirring throughotit the basin dufing this time. The establishinerit of uncbnfohiJities and water~depth trends is iiriportant beCaiJse bf the privilegéd paleogeogYáphic location óccupied by the Sierra del Carche within . the Betic Margin: an iriteimediate positidri betWeeri the deeper fades of the Subbi2tic bomain (to the southeast) arid the shallower sediments. of other areéis bf the Prebetic Domain (to the northwest). Thtis, the results of this work provide a good stratigraphic basis for intrabasirial corre/ation.
