Field Trips

Tectonic Settings (Structure and related sedimentary basins)


Salt Tectonics


  1. Triassic evaporites involved in the Betics and Pyrenean Ranges give well exposed examples of contractionally deformed diapirs previously formed during the Cretaceous extension. In these examples both the internal diapir and overburden structure can be easily and broadly observed. This, and the presence of syn-tectonic sediments around the diapirs allow to decipher the main geometric and kinematics features of the diapirs squeezed and, in some cases, transported during subsequent contraction. The field trips will deal with next structures which represent different stages of contractionally deformed diapirs:


    1. ‣Bicorp-Quesa (External Betics)

    2. ‣Salinas de Añana, Vilasana de Mena and Salinas de Buralón (Western Cantabrian Pyrenees)
