Sedimentación sinectónica asociada a una subida relativa del nivel del mar durante el Cretácico superior (Fm. Tremp, provincia de Lérida)

Abstract

The Tremp Formation is the continental lateral equivalent of the Arén Sandstone Formation. Both formations are part of regressive depositional sequences, formed during a relative sea level rise. At the top of the Isona anticline and in tbe south flank of the Sant Comeli anticline, four lithostratigraphic units are distinguisbed in the Tremp Formation. The sedimentary evolution of each of these units is related to tectonic reactivation and a slow down of the diastrophism. The successive sedimentary environments inferred for these units are the following: lagoon and/or fluvial plain, fluvial plain, tidal flat and/or lacustrine-palustrine. At the base and/or within sorne of these units there are progressive unconformities. The maximum slow down of the diastrophism would correspond to sedimentation in the tidal flat and/or lacustrine environments.
