• Resumen

  • From Lorca to Murcia the Guadalentín river drains a rift surrounding by the Lorca-Alhama fault (LAF) and the North Carrascoy fault (NCF). This rift consists of two tectonics subbasins. Lorca’s was semi-endoreic until the Late Copper Age and Librilla’s was drained by ancient Sangonera river. The Guadalentín river is linking these two basins for Iron Age period. This fluvial metamorphosis may provocated by tectonic subsidence as suggests the gradient of the travertine formations (Upper Pleistocene). Active subsidence exhibits bythickening and anormal superposition of alluvial sheets (since Versilian until Copper Age) and synsedimentary deformations upstream the Romeral pass. The Iron Age sheet fossilized this third accident situated between LAF and NCF. It’s called “Romeralfault” (RF)
