Abstract

According to lithological composition three units were stablished in the area studied: a) Clayey unit. Green and pinkish clays with sandy beds and early formation of calcretes. Clay minerals association: smectite-mixed-layers (kerolite-stevensite) sepiolite-illite-kaolinite. b) Clayey calcareous unit Green clays with calcretes and a sandy level at bottom of the unit. Clay minerals association: smectite-illite-palygorskite-sepiolite-kaolinite. c) Clayey-dolomitic unit. Green clays with dolomicrites. Clay minerals association: smectiteillite-palygorskite-sepiolite. Results let us to stablish a sepiolite and palygorskite genesis related to lacustrine paludine environments where pedodiagenetic processes (v.s. carbonation, dolomitization, silicification, vertic features) were responsible of smectite instability, with development of palygorskite or sepiolite, according to their respectively di or triocthedral character.
