“…The Lower Jurassic peritidal to shallow marine carbonate platform successions developed around the western Tethys usually display a hierarchical stacking of highfrequency depositional sequences that have been related to allocyclic and/or autocyclic mechanisms. In most of these platforms, a combination of factors controlling the cyclicity and the internal facies stacking has been suggested: orbital-driven sea-level changes, local or regional tectonic subsidence, and variations in local sediment supply and tidal flat progradation (Crevello, 1990(Crevello, , 1991Walkden and De Matos, 2000;Bosence et al, 2000Bosence et al, , 2009Pomoni-Papaioannou and Kostopoulou, 2008;Pomoni-Papaioannou and Karakitsios, 2016;Bádenas et al, 2010;Aurell and Bádenas, 2015;Brandano et al, 2015;Belkhedim et al, 2019). Similar high-frequency depositional sequences have been described in the Sinemurian shallow platform successions of Mallorca (Es Barraca Member, Balearic Islands, Spain) (Barnolas and Simó, 1984;Sevillano et al, 2013).…”
