Factors controlling the vegetation distribution and coal‐forming environments in a strike‐slip basin. The Pennsylvanian Peñarroya‐Belmez‐Espiel Basin, southern Spain

Abstract: Coal-forming environments require humid to perhumid conditions. Tectonics governs the size, location and availability of coal seams developed in such environments. While large Pennsylvanian paralic basins generated thick and continuous coal seams, many other small coeval basins, which were tectonically active, developed a puzzling succession, with carbonaceous deposits that varied in size, thickness and the nature of the coal-forming flora. This study, conducted in the Peñarroya-Belmez-Espiel coalfield, a Vari… Show more

“…In palaeocogical terms, the palynological assemblages and the palaeobotanical data previously reported (Á lvarez-Vázquez 1995; González et al 2016) provide a good qualitative and quantitative representation of the major Carboniferous floristic groups: lycopsids, sphenopsids, ferns, and gymnosperms (Table 5). Nevertheless, the palynological grouping results of seams 9, 14 and 15 reveal strong variations in the quantitative distribution of the palynofloras (González et al 2016).…”

“…In contrast, studies of the La Ballesta coals are very scarce, i.e. only paleobotanical, organic geochemical and palynological studies have been carried out by Á lvarez-Vázquez (1995), Lorenzo (2012), and González et al (2016), respectively. Previous palynological data in the La Ballesta mine denote that these coals have originated from mires in strikeslip basins are tectonically controlled, but not by variations in the plant precursors.…”
