[ES] En la base del Complejo de Cabo Ortegal, en una posición estructural inferior, aparece una mélange serpentinítica, la Mélange de Somozas. Próximo a la localidad de Espasante se encuentra un bloque tectónico de metavulcanitas constituido por rocas volcánicas submarinas masivas, brechas de pillow lavas fragmentadas, pillow-lavas empaquetadas y una matriz hialoclastítica. El estudio detallado de la petrografía y mineralogía de las hialoclastitas revela unas rocas que se caracterizan por una gran complejidad textural y mineralógica. La asociación mineral del pico metamórfico está constituida por moscovita+paragonita+cuarzo+hematites+distena+granate+clorita+epidota, con rutilo, apatito y turmalina como minerales accesorios. La margarita se presenta como mineral retrógrado reemplazando a la distena desde los bordes hacia el interior. La composición de todas estas fases minerales junto con su posición textural sugiere condiciones de metamorfismo de alta-P para el pico metamórfico.
[EN] The Somozas Mélange is a serpentinite mélange located in the lowest structural position of the Cabo Ortegal Complex. In the surrounding area of the Espasante village, an outstanding tectonic block of submarine metavolcanic rocks appears formed by broken pillow breccias, close-packed pillow lavas, hyaloclastites, basaltic andesites and doleritic dykes. A detailed petrographical and mineralogical study of the metahyaloclastitic rocks shows complex textural and mineralogical relationships. The mineral assemblage developed during metamorphic peak conditions is formed by muscovite+paragonite+quartz+garnet+kyanite+chlorite+epidote+hematite, with rutile, apatite and tourmaline as accessories. Margarite appears as a retrograde mineral formed after kyanite. The compositional characteristics of all these minerals are presented and it is suggested that they were developed during a high-P metamorphism event affecting the submarine volcanic rocks.
