RESUMENSe recogen en este trabajo los resultados obtenidos a partir del estudio mineralógico de la Unidad de Facinas, que presenta dos tramos, uno inferior Albo-Aptense y otro superior Cretácico Superior-Paleoceno. Las secuencias estudiadas muestran una gran similitud litológica y, si bien en las muestras totales se observan ciertas diferencias mineralógicas, la fracción menor de 2 micras es muy homogénea.Caracterizan a esta Unidad la abundancia de cloritas de diferente composición y génesis: cloritas autigénicas, predominantemente ferrosas y cloritas heredadas, magnesianas. Por otra parte, este estudio mineralógico permite indicar un origen y/o evolución común para los dos tramos de la Unidad de Facínas. Palabras clave: Cloritas, minerales autigénicos. Unidad de Facinas, Campo de Gibraltar. ABSTRACfThe Facinas Unit consists of a clayed flysch facies with quartzite and sandstone centimeter layers. According to paleontological data, two beds are distinguished, one lower of Albian-Aptian age, and another, hígher, Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene in age. The mineralogy of the Facinas Unit is very monotonous through all the sequences studied, especially for the concerning to less than 2J.l fraction. This unít is characterized by an abundance of cblorites of different composition and genesis: Authigenic chlorites are mainly Fe-rich members, whereas chlorites of inherited origin are magnesian. On the otber hand, tbis míneralogical study reveals a common origin and/or evolution for the two beds of the Facinas Unít.
