Résumé
The Villanueva de Huerva Fm. (Valanginian to middle Hauterivian in age) is a lacustrine sinrift unit (with a sedimentary rate from 2 to 2,6 cm/1000 yr) of the Aguilón Subbasin infill (central Iberian Chain). A 49 m-thick interval integrated by 88 cycles of marl - laminated limestons- massive limestons – bioturbated and/or brecciated limestones, that represent typical shallowing-upward sequences, can be identified in this unit. The high-resolution stratigraphic analysis of the cyclic interval has allowed to analyse the role played by climate in sedimentation. A schematic sedimentological model is proposed based on both the vertical relation among facies and their interpretation. In such a model the relative spatial position of the distinct facies with respect to the coastline of the lake is interpreted and these data have been used as the basis to elaborate the time series for the spectral analysis. Taking into account the estimated sedimentary rate we deduce that the shallowing-upward basic sequence recognised in the studied interval fits well with the Milankovitch frequency band. The obtained ratios between the cycles are 4.5:1, 3.4:1 and 1.3:1. The two first ratios can be interpreted as the eccentricity/precession ratios, while the last one could be related to the ratio between the two modes of the precession cycle.
