Estratigrafía, litología y mineralizaciones del Manto de Lujar (Zona Bética)

Abstract

The Lújar-Nappe, the deepest alpujárride unit, has many outcrops in form of tectonic windows at the South of the Sierra Nevada, between Motril and Almería. A subdivision was made in six different formations. The lower formation LTl is formed by permotriassic phyllites and quartzites, the five formations above it LT2a - LT3C by triassic limestones and dolostones. Concordant flurspar and galena sources of the groups LT2b and LT3a have been described and dated as upper Ladinian and lower Carnian.
