Aportaciones al conocimiento de la geología de Bac Grillera (prepirineo, Girona)

The Bac Grillera nappe (Prepirenean of Girona) shows a stratigraphic section composed of two unconformi ty-bounded units. The lower unit is composed by rethian (marly limestones) and liassic (brechoid marly limestones and limestones). The upper unit (sandstones and marly limestones) belongs to the upper Cretaceous (Campanian)

Aportaciones al conocimiento del Cretácico del macizo del Montgrí (Girona)

ln this paper we describe a stratigraphic column of the Cretaceous of the Montgrí. This description is based on several partial stratigraphic cross sections as well as on the lithological characterof the different levels and their faunal content, specially megafossils

Aportacions al coneixement del vulcanisme neogen de l'Alt Empordà: tres afloraments volcànics inèdits al terme municipal de Roses

En aquest treball es descriuen les característiques litològiques principals de tres afloraments volcànics inèdits que han estat localitzats al terme municipal de Roses. Es tracta de materials basàltics, similarsals que s'associen a altres manifestacions efusives neògenes de la comarca de l'Alt Empordà

Presencia del paleogeno bajo los sedimentos neogénicos de Vilablareix (Girona)

This study makes clear the existence of a paleogenical red basal level (Pontils Fm.) in the Vilablareix àrea, under the mio-pliocenical cover of the Girona plain, enlargening the surface known go far of that level

Sedimentología del Mioceno del Vallés occidental (prov. de Barcelona)

In this paper we make a litostratigraphical study on the Miocene of the 'Vallés occidental' (Barcelona, Spain) which embraces a part of the 'Depresion Media' of the intermediary tectonic grave between the 'Cadena Litoral' and 'Prelitoral' of the 'Sistema Mediterráneo'. At the same time we undertake an analysis of the bassin

Interpretación sedimentológica y paleogeográfica del nivel de areniscas eocénicas de Sarrià de Ter (Prov. de Gerona)

There is in this work a description of sedimentological characters of the medium Eocene sandstone level from Sarriá de Ter (Gerona province Spain) and an interpretation of their genesis and situation in the regional paleogeography. The conclusion is that these sandstones form a deltaic channel(delta front). To wards the E and NE the become fluvial deposits, to wards the W, Plana de Vic, they become clay and silstones considered as a prodelta

Serie estratigráfica de Liásico de la provincia de Girona

From several small stratigraphic sections, we have reconstituted the Liassic interval of the Girona Province (NE Spain). We have been able to identify paleontologically the Carixian (Jamesoni, Ibex, and perhaps, Davoei zones), the Lower Domerian (Stockesi zone), and the Middle Toarcian (possibily Variabilis zone, as well as Thouarsense and Insigne zones). The Lower Toarcian (Serpentinus zone) is represented by fossil remains no ‘in situ’. The lowest Toarcián (Tenuicos-tatum zone) as well as the Middle and Upper Domerian (Margaritatus and Spinatum zones respectively, are probably represented by stratigraphic gaps

Significado sedimentológico de los niveles con Assilinas de la Formación Armancies (Eoceno medio) y sus equivalentes laterales

In this paper we show some sedimentological characteristics of Assilina beds from Armancies Fm. (middle Eocene) and their lateral equivalents that let us to remark some aspects of their genesis. We arrive to the conclusion that, in occidental sector (Bagá-Campdevanol), ‘las barras de Assilinas’ from the Armancies Fm. are grain flow channels, first sedimented at W of Terrades and after slided, from E to W in a turbidite basin, without any coarse clastic

El paleozoic del massís de Begur (Girona)

The Paleozoic materials of Massís de Begur are described from a stratigraphical point of view. We distinguish two units: the lower one, present phillites with carbonate layers ofcambro-ordovician age. The upper one is composed by volcanic rocks, carbonate schistsand black slates, bring from caradocian and ashgillian age

El paleogen del massís de Begur (Girona)

Stratigraphic series concerning the paleogenic materials of the 'Massis de Begur' are described. We note the presence of some diferences between its northem and westem margins

Geología del Montgrí

This paper, fundamentally stratigraphic, is based on the vertical distribution of fauna in sediments which constitute the Montgri Massif. The stratigraphic series is composed of two units: one allochtonous (Mesozoic) and a second one autochtonous (Paleogene). The latter crops out in front of the thrust belt and presents the typical facies described by PALLI (1972). The allochtonous part is formed by the following units (from bottom to top): variegated gypsiferous shales of Keuper age; marls, limestones and dolomites from the Lias (Domerian); gray breccia ted dolomites: supraliassic; and Cretaceous limestones with rare interbeds of calcareous marls and nodular shaly marls. In this unit the Neocomian, Barremian (?), Aptian, Albian, Cenomanian, Turonian (?) and Santonian haven been recognized. Structurally, the Montgri Massif is part of a thrust belt which has been divided into three parts of different development ang age. Both parts are affected by ample synclinal folds of NE-SW directions and fractures of NW-SE orientation. The fractures condition the torrential streams as well as the karstic phenomena present in the Massif. These and the eolian actions are the main causes of the present geomorphology of the Montgri

Depósitos litorales y variaciones del nivel del mar durante el Holoceno en la Costa Brava (NE de Catalunya)

Se describe un conjunto de depósitos litorales localizados en la Costa Brava, que aparecen unos pocos metros por encima y por debajo del nivel del mar actual. En base a su génesis se han agrupado en niveles de conglomerados de pie de acantilado, playas levantabas sincementar y playas sumergidas cementadas (beachrock). Su edad se ha establecido apartir de los fragmentos de cerámica que contienen y de dataciones absolutas de 14C. Estos depósitos permiten detectaroscilaciones recientes del nivel del mar que se enmarcan en los últimos estadios de la transgresión Flandriense

Mid Holocene in Sant Julià de Boada (Baix Empordà, Girona): Stratigraphical sequence and paleoenvironmental records of the paludal deposits

Descripció de la seqüència estratigràfica i dels registres paleoambientals dels sediments holocens de Sant Julià de Boada

Aportaciones al conocimiento del Mesozoico de la provincia de Girona: Jurásico

The general features of the mesozoic sediments of Girona province and also the detailed jurassic section are studied. In this section are identified paleontologically the Carixian, the Lower Domerian and the Midle Toarcian age

Los conceptos de facies en Estratigrafía

Se analizan brevemente los conceptos de facies usados en Estratigrafía añadiendo a las síntesis recientes realizadas (sobre todo la de TEICHERT 1958) algunos nuevos conceptos de uso común.
