These localities are Baleeira 21 Harbour, Mareta Beach and Telheiro Quarry; they provide a composite succession, tied 1 22 to ammonite zones, through the Lower, Middle and Upper Callovian from the western 23 and eastern subbasins of the Algarve Basin. The three sections generally yielded 24 relatively abundant marine and continental palynofloras. Diversity is low to moderate 25 and the dinoflagellate cyst associations are dominated by Ctenidodinium spp., the 26 Ellipsoidictyum/Valensiella group, Gonyaulacysta jurassica subsp. adecta, 27 Korystocysta spp., Meiourogonyaulax spp., Pareodinia ceratophora, Sentusidinium 28 spp., Surculosphaeridium? vestitum and Systematophora spp. Some intra-Callovian 29 marker bioevents were recorded; these include the range bases of Ctenidodinium 30 ornatum, Gonyaulacysta eisenackii, Korystocysta pachyderma, Mendicodinium 31 groenlandicum, Rigaudella spp.

  • Tectono-Sedimentary Phases of the Latest Cretaceous and Cenozoic Compressive Evolution of the Algarve Margin (Southern Portugal)
    9781405179225_4_006.qxd 10/5/07 2:25 PM Page 111 Tectono-sedimentary phases of the latest Cretaceous and Cenozoic compressive evolution of the Algarve margin (southern Portugal) FERNANDO C. LOPES*† and P. P. CUNHA* *Centro de Geofisica, Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, Universidade de Coimbra, Largo Marquês de Pombal, 3000-272 Coimbra, Portugal (Email: [email protected]) †IMAR – Instituto de Mar, Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, Universidade de Coimbra, Av. Dr. Dias da Silva, 3000-134 Coimbra, Portugal ABSTRACT The latest Cretaceous and Cenozoic tectono-sedimentary evolution of the central and eastern Algarve margin (southwestern Iberia) is reconstructed as a series of structural maps and three- dimensional diagrams based on multichannel seismic reflection data. Six seismic stratigraphic units, bounded by unconformities related to tectonic events during the African–Eurasian convergence, have been identified. Several episodes of major regional change in palaeogeography and tectonic setting are distinguished: they occurred in the Campanian, Lutetian, Oligocene–Aquitanian trans- ition, middle Tortonian, Messinian–Zanclean transition and Zanclean–Piacenzian transition. These changes were induced by geodynamic events primarily related to the relative motions of the African and Eurasian plates. The Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic in the Algarve margin were dominated by compressional deformation. Triggered by the regional tectonics that affected the basement, Upper Triassic–Hettangian evaporites played an important role in tectono-sedimentary evolution by local- izing both extensional and thrust detachments and generating both salt structures and salt- withdrawal sub-basins. During middle Eocene and Oligocene times, coeval development of compressive structures and normal fault systems in the eastern Algarve domain is interpreted as resulting from gravity gliding due to a general tilt of the margin.

Box. 2390, Prince Moulay Abdellah Avenue, Marrakech 40000, Morocco d Department of Geological Sciences, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada S7N 5E2 Received 2 March 2006; accepted 10 July 2007 Available online 7 August 2007 Abstract Lower Jurassic volcanic-sedimentary successions of the Algarve Basin (∼198 Ma) are associated with the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP), that was one aspect of Pangean intracontinental rifting. Volcanic products of the Algarve CAMP include subaerial lava flows, pyroclastic deposits and peperites, and contemporaneous sedimentation is dominated by mudstones and conglomerates, often containing volcanic fragments, intercalated in the volcanic sequence. These lithological characteristics and associations are compatible with a facies model typical of continental basaltic magmatism. Volcanic rocks are fractionated low- Ti tholeiites enriched in large ion lithophile elements relative to high field strength elements. The compositional spectrum (e.g., Ba/Nb–Zr/Nb) is consistent with derivation of primary magmas by partial melting of heterogeneous sources, initially continental lithospheric mantle progressively replaced by an asthenospheric source.
