This paper describes the Early Eocene sedimentological evolution of the Sierra del Cad/carbonate platform during the early development of the southeastern Pyrenean foreland basin, Spain. The platform developed as a south-facing ramp system located either across the southern margin of a growth anticline within the newly formed basin or along the axial margin of the basin. Sequences I and II both comprise basal transgressive systems tracts (TSTs) dominated by a thick succession of outer ramp lime mudstones, shallowing upwards into a highstand systems tract (HST) of mid-and inner ramp bioclastic shoals, sand banks and lagoonal deposits. In Sequence III the TST comprises a thick,
