Un modelo sobre el control orbital de la sedimentación en medios de plataformael Albiense-Cenomaniense del Puerto del Remolcador (Maestrazgo, Castellón)

Resumen

There are many papers dealing with orbital forcing on sedimenlation, mainly on deep facies. The study of orbital forcing on platform sediments, however, depends on the development of accurate models, which can be contrasted with sediments. A cyclic model on the superimposition of three clifferent orders of sedimentary cycles has been elaborated lo explain sedimentation in the Upper Albian - Cenomanian times in the lberian Ranges, and it has been used in arder to check the Puerto del Remolcador section looking far orbital forcing signals. The model allow the determination of the different cycles duration (1,2 m.a, 240 ka and 48 ka), which is elose to those of orbital forced cycles, mainly with the 41 ka obliquity cycles. Using lhe duration of the cycles, bolh lhe temporal extension of the distinct lithostratigraphic units and the sedimentary rate of limes tones and marls can a/so be estimated.
