• Resumen

  • The results o f a sedimentological analysis o f the Carixlan (lower Pliensbachian) o f the northern Iberian Chain (Obon-Castel de Cabra area, Teruel province) are presented in this work. Detailed facies analysis in the Almonacid Unit allowed the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the carbonate platform developed in the northern part of the Iberian basin. Shall ower areas, located around the Castel de Cabra, were dominated by crinoids, corals and calcareous algae. They were deposited in the transition area between inner and mid ramp environments. In the midramp settings, located to the North (Obon), the facies consists o f marls and bioclastic limestones (mudstone to wackstone), that contain interbedded storm levels (tempestites).
