Abstract

The Guajares and Chaparral-Guindalera Sierras are mainly formed by carbonatic materials, of Middle and Upper Triassic (and perhaps of the Lower Liassic) age, belonging to the Almijara Unit (Alpujarride Complex). Their structure is mainly formed by thrust-slides (and younger faults affecting them). The Almijara Unit is overthrusted by the Guajares Unit (including in this Unit the Salobreña Sub-unit). In its thrusting, the Guajares Unit, is progressively situated over more modern materials of the Almijara Unit, inducing in it other lesser trust-slides. Boths units, Almijara and Guajares, overthrusted the Escalate Unit (with an approximate NNW to NW direction and sense) causing important tectonic thinning.
