Abstract

This paper describes the stratigraphy and structural setting of a new outcrop of Paleogene sediments, whose age has been determined from their pollen content. These sediments overlie sands and clays of presumed Cretaceous age and underlie the La Espina Thrust, that is the boundary between two Variscan geological domains: the Cantabrian and West- asturian-leonese zones. The Alpine deformation caused reactivation of the La Espina Variscan Thrust as a reverse fault.
