Description
Summary:Upper Callovian and Lower Oxfordian materials have been found in the area of Estepa (External Subbetic). Karstification of the underlying ooid limestones of the Middle Jurassic, would give rise to large and deep karstic cavities. The extremely unusual apparition of materials of the quoted ages is explained as the local deposition of pelagic and crinoidal sediments in the deepest karstic cavities submerged just after the sea level rise beginning in the Callovian, in a non depositional and even erosional regional setting
