This crescent-shaped massif was affected by a network fractures that is visible at different scales. It is particularly rich in numerous mineralized veins of barite, and is associated with other minerals (e.g. pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena). In order to study fracture systems in the mining zone of Jbel Tijekht, we opted for a combination of remote sensing and field investigation that became an important tool for fracture mapping and mineral exploration. This work presents a methodological approach to detect structural lineaments. For this purpose, various techniques were applied to the Landsat 8 image to improve the visibility of linear structures. After the radiometric and atmospheric corrections, the colors composites and directional filters applied to the Principal component (PC1) allow for the establishment of a lineaments map of Jbel Tijekht. The validation and the correction of lineaments are based on preexisting documents combined with field observations. Statistical analysis of the lineament map allows for identification of at least three directional fracture systems with average NS, NE-SW, and ENE-WSW orientations. NS and NE-SW systems show a high density in the largest part of the study area. These results clearly overlap different tectonic structures and existing veins. It allowed for the establishment of a geological link between lithology, fractures systems and mineralization. The fracture density can be attributed to the last variscan brittle phases, reflecting the rheology of rock units; the high fracture density is observed in competent rocks such as the Tabanit sandstones. These zones constitute a favorable area for mineralization deposits.","PeriodicalId":50496,"journal":{"name":"Estudios Geologicos-Madrid","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78333737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its marine faunas are still poorly documented. This paper presents the results of a first study on the mid–upper Eocene (Lutetian to Priabonian) marine macrofossils of Navarre included in the paleontological collection of Maximo Ruiz de Gaona, a researcher whose studies on the geology and paleontology of this territory constitute an obligatory historical reference. The described fossils come from the Eocene marly formations of the Pamplona basin and the Urbasa-Andia limestone Formation and overlying deposits, in the Estella-Urbasa area, west of the Pamplona fault. Some of the specimens studied come from outcrops that do not exist any longer. This fact increases the interest of conservation and the study of this collection. The paleontological data from the Estella-Urbasa area are almost entirely new. This study has allowed the description of 24 taxa of marine macrofauna. Seven of them ─Cyclolitopsis patera, Funginellastraea barcelonensis, Pycnodonte rarilamella, Metacrinus sp., Triplacidia sp., in addition to an indeterminate Cyclostomatida bryozoan and an indeterminate Serpulidae annelid─ are new to the fossil record of Navarre. The macropaleontological associations described in this and previous works are not as diverse as those from other coeval European geological regions. In addition to possible ecological conditions, sampling biases and, above all, taphonomic biases, specifically the loss of invertebrate species with aragonite skeletons, arise as the main explanation.","PeriodicalId":50496,"journal":{"name":"Estudios Geologicos-Madrid","volume":"129 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87421714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

El procedimiento LU–IV (Arauzo, 2017) fue ideado para cartografiar la vulnerabilidad intrínseca de las aguas subterráneas (riesgos asociados al medio físico) y la vulnerabilidad específica a la contaminación por nitrato (riesgos asociados a los usos del suelo en territorios intrínsecamente vulnerables), con el objetivo final de mejorar la delimitación de las zonas vulnerables a la contaminación por nitrato (ZVN). Esta metodología utiliza parámetros sencillos y fácilmente disponibles que, combinados en un entorno de SIG, permite evaluar con precisión la vulnerabilidad (intrínseca y específica) en la totalidad de la cuenca de drenaje (área susceptible de drenar agua, potencialmente contaminada por nitrato, hacia un acuífero receptor). \u0000La aplicación del procedimiento LU–IV a la cuenca hidrológica del río Ebro (N.E. de España) ha permitido determinar que una superficie de 18.757 km2 presenta un grado de vulnerabilidad específica a la contaminación por nitrato de alto a extremo, por lo que los territorios afectados podrían ser potencialmente designables como ZVN. Esta superficie difiere de los 9.796 km2 designados oficialmente como ZVN por las administraciones autonómicas con competencias para la designación de ZVN en la cuenca del Ebro. Si bien los territorios oficialmente designados coinciden en gran medida con los resultados de esta investigación, la aplicación del nuevo procedimiento ha permitido identificar un 50% más de territorios clasificables como zonas vulnerables. Las áreas aluviales presentaron el mayor grado de vulnerabilidad (tanto intrínseca como específica) afectando a la mayor parte de su territorio, lo que sugiere la necesidad de plantear una protección integral de todas las superficies aluviales, no sólo en la cuenca del Ebro, sino a escala nacional y europea.","PeriodicalId":50496,"journal":{"name":"Estudios Geologicos-Madrid","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82682683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our revision and interpretation of the rodent assemblage previously published in the 1990s leads to three important conclusions: 1) the only species of the subgenus Iberomys present in the sequence is the current endemic Iberian vole species Microtus (Iberomys) cabrerae (Cabrera’s vole); 2) the rodent assemblage is dominated throughout by open-forest species, such as the long-tailed field mouse ( Apodemus sylvaticus ), and species associated with open-humid areas such as the Mediterranean and Lusitanian pine voles ( Microtus (Terricola ) spp.), with the notable presence of an extinct hamster ( Allocricetus bursae ) in layer K, and three vole species not currently found in the vicinity of the cave ( Microtus arvalis [the common vole], M.

The development of epicontinental platforms restricted to the Tethys Ocean during the fragmentation of Pangea since the late Lower Triassic favoured the radiation of Sauropterygia, diapsid marine reptiles including Placodontiformes, Pachypleurosauria, Nothosauroidea, and Pistosauroidea. The Triassic of the Alpujarride Complex, in the Internal Zones of the Betic Cordillera, SE Spain, comprises the carbonate deposits of these epicontinental platforms developed during the Middle-Late Triassic in the northern margin of the Mesomediterranean Massif. The studied stratigraphic interval is located at Sierra de Lujar (Granada Province) and consists of 17.5-m thick succession of alternating fossiliferous marls and limestones with local intense bioturbation and abundance of macroinvertebrates. The studied interval represents shallow facies of the inter- to subtidal environment as deduced by the record of Lofer cycles and the record of carbonated breccia at the top of the sequence likely related to storm events. Lofer cycles display lamination at their bases and intense bioturbation and abundant bivalves towards the top. A 15-cm long dorsal rib of a sauropterygian, likely a nothosaur, was recorded in this succession. It is well preserved, without evidence of original fragmentation, borings, or encrustations.

These rocks are composed of volcanic (andesites and dacites) and subvolcanic (micodiorites and microgranodiorites) lithologies that intruded both the Cretaceous and Oligo-Miocene nappes, and the Miocene post-nappe sediments. The andesites are composed of plagioclase, amphibole and pyroxene phenocrysts that are set in a microlithic groundmass. The dacites are plagioclase-rich and rare, highly altered ferromagnesian minerals. The microdiorites and microgranodiorites are hornblende-bearing rocks with plagioclase, pyroxene and rare biotite phenocrysts that are set in a microcrystalline groundmass. Geochemical observations show that the rocks are calc-alkaline with I-type affinity. They are enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and light rare earth elements (LREE) compared to high field strength elements (HFSE) and heavy rare earth elements (HREE). The negative Nb, P and Ti anomalies observed on the multi-element patterns are imprints of magmas originated from subduction zones. Field, petrological and geochemical investigations show that the El Aouana Miocene igneous rocks are emplaced in a post-collisionnal setting.

The geological mapping of the outcropping volcanic rocks reveals that they follow three well marked lineaments of cortical weakness (Teruel, Caudiel and Alcublas Fault Zones), probably caused by the faulting related to the opening and sea‒floor spreading of the Ligurian and Alpine Tethys oceans. The present work introduces the results of the study, which aims to evaluate the tectonosedimentary evolution of a shallow submarine setting affected by volcanism during the Aalenian‒Bajocian boundary (Middle Jurassic). This site, known as “Caudiel volcanic outcrop”, is located at the southeastern part of the Caudiel Fault Zone. The presence of positive subaqueous volcaniclastic reliefs, added to shallow marine platforms, strongly affects the depth‒dependent carbonate sedimentation: it induces substantial changes in lithofacies compared to other neighboring areas, or even directly prevents the sedimentation. Moreover, episodic normal fault activity generated a dynamic topography over time, with variable rates of both subsidence and uplifting throughout different areas. The Caudiel outcrop represents a good ancient example of interaction between multiple factors (volcanism, tectonism and sedimentation) in shallow carbonate platforms, where the accommodation changes and the sedimentation rates seem to be subordinate to the local tectonic disturbances.","PeriodicalId":50496,"journal":{"name":"Estudios Geologicos-Madrid","volume":"447 1","pages":"129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86315138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
