| Sumario: | [EN] Tortonian sedimentation in the Betics records a major tectonic event, the largest orogenic deformation of the cordillera, suporimposed on the largerscale, third-order TB 3.2 cycle ofeustatic sea-level change. A first interpretation of the Sequence Stratigraphy of the Murcia-Carrascoy basin is presented. Uplift of positive reliefs around the basin favoured the deposition of thick successions of conglomorates evidencing cannibalism. Facies associations witness deposition on the steep siope of a basin, fed by mountain rivers that supplied coarse sediments to the basin. The resulting fan delta is comparable in many respects to those described in fjords, and a depositional model is presented. |
