Effects of the sea-level changes on a wave-worked Gilbert-Type delta (Late Pliocene, Aguilas Basin, SE Spain)

| Sumario: | [EN] The bay of Cuatro Calas was formed in late Plioceno times by a local downward bending of older Neogene materials, which favoured a relative rise of sea level and invasion by the sea. The studied bay-fill deposits consist of units, with large-scale faresets diat filled most of tite dopression tappod by the yousagor sets of offlappirag trasasitiasa-zone units with an overall tabular sitape. As a whole, they generated a Gilbert-type delta morphology that actualy is a summatory of smaller-scale delta units deposited during successive highstands of sea level. Wo can observe only these highstand delta deposits. Lowstand wedges lay under the Present Mediterranean sea. |
