Geology of the Cotiella thrust sheet, southern Pyrenees (Spain)

This paper presents a geological map and cross-sections of the Cotiella thrust sheet at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scale, respectively. The map covers an area of 225 km2 in the southern Pyrenees. The structure of the studied area is dominated by an upper Santonian - lower Miocene thrust system, which tra...
