Messinian coral reefs and erosion surfaces in Cabo de Gata (Almeria, Spain)

Excellent exposures in Cabo de Gata area reveal two major Messinian depositional sequences, the Reef Complex and the Terminal Complex, which are overlying a complicated erosional morphology with several terraces on the volcanic basement. A typical Porites reef developed on the 200 m platform and ori...
