Abstract
Paleoseismic imprimt in lacustrine varved sediments (Upper Miocene) has been made in the Hijar Basin (External Prebetic, Albacete). Mixed layers related to seismic activity have been observed in the varved sediments. These deformational structures are associated with earthquake's magnitude 3 5.5. Each varve may be considered as annual laminae and used to date the time among deformation structures. The average recurrence interval for these study section is 119 years ( ± 33 years of standard desviation) for 1189 recorded years.
