“…1, 2). Most of this detrital succession was deposited in extensive alluvial fans, more than 50 km in radius, fed by rivers whose headwaters reached the igneous rocks of the Axial Zone of the Pyrenees (Luzón, 2005). The Peraltilla Formation (Crusafont et al, 1966), designated as Solsona Formation east of the Segre River ( Fig.…”

“…It is up to 950 m thick (Senz and Zamorano, 1992) and ranges in age from Lower Oligocene to Upper Oligocene. The Barbastro Formation and the Peraltilla Formation constitute the T3 tecto-sedimentary unit of Luzón (2005). The Peraltilla Formation is overlain by the Upper Oligocene-Lower Miocene Sariñena Formation (Quirantes, 1978;Luzón, 2005) (Figs.…”

“…In particular, the deposition of abundant sheetflood sediments is a sign for floodplain sedimentation in marginal areas of the ringplain (c.f. Luzón, 2005) or its front, i.e. at the transition to the river system.…”
Volcanic terrains such as magmatic arcs are thought to display the most complex surface environments on Earth. Ancient volcaniclastics are notoriously difficult to interpret as they describe the interplay between a single or several volcanoes and the environment.
“…4 attached to the basin margins grading distally into low-gradient, hydrologically closed, shallow lakes located in the central basin areas (Cabrera and Sáez, 1987;Arenas and Pardo, 1999;Luzón, 2005;Nichols and Fisher, 2007;Sáez et al 2007) (Fig. 1A).…”
The ichnological study of fluvial fan and lacustrine Oligocene deposits in the NE Ebro Basin has allowed the recognition of three ichnoassemblages having a strong correlation with depositional facies associations. Lacustrine deposits lack bioturbation due to the hydrologically closed character of the lake that caused hypersalinity and made it inhospitable for benthic life. Terminal lobe deposits of the fluvial fan, which were sedimented in low wetland areas around the lake, bear a moderately diverse ichnoassemblage dominated by horizontal
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
