Conodont alteration and tectonothermal evolution of a diagenetic unit in the Iberian Variscan belt (Ponga-Cuera unit, NW Spain)

Abstract: -Tectonothermal analysis of a mainly carbonate unit located in the external part of the Variscan orogen in NW Spain is dealt with using the conodont colour alteration index (CAI) and the study of textures of these microfossils. The Kübler index of the illite (KI) is used as a complementary method. The area is characterized by a great uniformity in the CAI values, which in most cases are < 2, indicating diagenetic conditions. In spite of the low CAI values, textures show great variety and were mainly originated… Show more

“…The anchizone (anchicaizone) is not reached even in the more mature areas, where hydrothermal ore deposits exist. More detailed information about this subunit is presented and discussed in Blanco‐Ferrera et al (). Picos de Europa unit : Just as in the previous unit, the availability of thermal evolution data is limited. Homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions in mineral ore deposits are scarce, and they are located in a similar interval to that found in the Central Coal Basin and the Ponga unit (between 100°C and 150°C).…”

“…Este afloramiento se encuentra en la parte suroeste de la Zona Cantábrica y en la rama meridional del Arco Astúrico, donde las estructuras orientadas E-O son las predominantes. Más concretamente, el afloramiento se sitúa en el flanco norte, fuertemente inclinado hacia el norte, del anticlinal de Huergas-Valgrande (Marcos, 1968), también conocido como anticlinal de Villasecino ) (ver por ejemplo los mapas y cortes geológicos de De Sitter, 1962;Marcos, 1968;Martínez-Álvarez et al, 1968;Alonso et al, 1989;Rodríguez-Fernández et al, 1990;Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, 2005-2011.…”

“…Esta región está ubicada en el esquema estructural de la figura 1. mientos están ubicados en la parte centro-oriental de la Zona Cantábrica y en la rama septentrional del Arco Astúrico, la cual está dominada en su parte norte por estructuras de orientación preferentemente E-O. Este afloramiento se sitúa en el flanco norte (trasero) del anticlinal de Cué (Martínez-García et al, 1981), el cual presenta un fuerte buzamiento hacia el norte, y en la zona de charnela de un sinclinal situado al norte del anticlinal (ver por ejemplo los mapas y cortes geológicos de Martínez-Álvarez, 1965;Martínez-García, 1980;Marquínez, 1989;Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, 2005-2011.…”
