Sedimentology of a Middle Jurassic base-of-slope environment, Cutri Formation, Mallorca
- Simon Paul Kettle
Resumen
La Formación Cutri, en su localidad tipo en el noroeste de Mallorca (España), ha sido previamente interpretada como un posible prisma de talud carbonático. Esta interpretación es ratificada y pormenorizada en este trabajo con la incorporación de nuevos datos de campo y de laboratorio. El análisis realizado muestra que la Formación Cutri se depositó en la base del talud, en el lado de un ambiente carbonato de base de la pendiente a barlovento de una plataforma carbonatada tetisiana del Jurásico Medio. Esta interpretación está apoyada por extensos afloramientos de gran continuidad lateral, abundantes niveles de calciturbidtas y debris-flows entre los depósitos hemipelágicos.Descargas
