Zusammenfassung
The stratigraphical and sedimentological study of the Muschelkalk facies (Middle Triassic) carbonate unit in Mijares-Monserrat sector, (E. Spain). allows the recognition of subunits with different characteristics. The vertical evolution of these subunits represents the transition from alternate inter-subtidal shallow platform environments to inter-supratidal environments. Presence of the bivalves Leptochondria alberti, Bakevellia costata, Entolium discites and "Placunopsis" and the foraminifers Lamelliconus ex. gr. ventroplanus-biconvexus, L. multispirus, L. procerus and Triadodiscus eomesozoicus indicate a Ladinian-Carnian age in a broad sense. These general characteristics are common of the so-called "Mediterranean Triassic type" and particulary to the upper part of the carbonate unit of the Muschelkalk facies.
