Descrição
Resumo:The Sierra del Castell de la Solana (NE Alicante province) exhibits a thick section (about 750 m ) of Lower Cretaceous age. I tis adscribed to the Prebetic, in the External Zones of the Betic Cordillera. The stratigraphic unit is made up mainly of carbonate platform limestones, minor sandstones, and hemipelagic marls and marly limestones. The sedimentary evolution deduced started with a mixed platform during the Berriasian-lower Valanginian; an intra-Valanginian discontinuity gave place to the development of an hemipelagic environment, that shallowed d uring the upper Barremian-lower Aptian. Since the upper Aptian to the upper Albian three episodes of progradation of carbonate platforms took place. The upermost Albian-lower Cenomanian(?) is represented by external platform deposits
