El Neógeno superior marino en Vejer de la Frontera (Cádiz, SO España) y su evolución regresiva

The upper Neogene deposits which outcrop in the area of Vejer de la Frontera (Cádiz, SW Spain) have been studied. The sedimentological, paleontological, and taphonomic changes, suggest a progressive phenomenon of upward regression, in a carbonate-detrital ramp context. Deposition begins with outer s...

Description
Summary:The upper Neogene deposits which outcrop in the area of Vejer de la Frontera (Cádiz, SW Spain) have been studied. The sedimentological, paleontological, and taphonomic changes, suggest a progressive phenomenon of upward regression, in a carbonate-detrital ramp context. Deposition begins with outer shelf sandy marls which change to calcarenites interpreted as inner shelf submareal bars and belong to the Foramol assemblage. Finally, conglomerates with marine fauna are deposited and this points to litoral environment systems
