A strike-slip fault corridor within the Alpujarra Mountains (Betic Cordilleras, Spain)

Abstract

[EN] In a long »corridor« in the internal zone of the Betic Cordilleras, bounded to the north by the Sierra Nevada and to the south by the Sierras Lujar, Contraviesa and Gador, two discernible bands of strike-slip faults exist: These bands lie in an approximately E-W direction and are well exposed throughout and beyond the 85 km long belt. The characteristic features of strike-slip faults, such as cataclastic rocks composed of variously textured fault breccia, which also include fragments of rocks up to several metres in size, incipient foliation, and striation demonstrate the right-lateral nature of the displacement. There are also fractures which run in a NW-SE and NNE-SSW direction, and apparently originated after formation of the E-W faults. The magnitude of lateral displacements is difficult to calculate. Evidence of considerable vertical movement can be found locally. These strike-slip displacements have essentially occurred since the middle Miocene period and might still be taking place.

[FR] Dans un long couloir situé dans la zone interne des Chaînes Bétiques et limité au Nord par la Sierra Névada et au Sud par les Sierras de Lujar, Contraviesa et Gador, s'observent deux trains de failles de décrochements. Ces trains ont une direction à peu près E-W et sont bien exposés tout au long des 85 Km de cette zone. Les traits caractéristiques des décrochements, tels que cataclasites, brèche de faille avec fragments de roches jusqu'à plusieurs mètres de longueur, schistosité naissante et striation, démontrent la nature dextre du déplacement. Il existe aussi des fractures de direction NW-SE et NNW-SSW qui se sont vraisemblablement formées postérieurement aux failles E-W. La valeur du déplacement latéral est difficile à estimer. On rèléve localement des indices de mouvements verticaux importants. Ces décrochements se sont produits essentiellement à partir du Miocène moyen et peuvent encore se poursuivre aujourd'hui.

[AL] In einem langen Korridor in der Internzone der Betischen Kordilleren, der im Norden durch die Sierra Nevada und im Süden von den Sierren Lujar, Contraviesa und Gador begrenzt wird, sind zwei Streifen mit Blattverschiebungen zu beobachten. Sie streichen etwa E-W und sind gut entlang des 85-km-langen Gürtels aufgeschlossen. Die charakteristischen Merkmale von Blattverschiebungen wie etwa kataklastische Gesteine mit verschiedenen texturierten Verwerfungsbrekzien, welche auch bis zu mehreren Metern große Gesteinsblöcke enthalten, beginnende Schieferung und Harnischbildung, zeigen die dextrale Natur der Bewegung. Daneben treten NW-SE und NNE-SSW streichende Störungen auf, die offensichtlich nach der Bildung der E-W verlaufenden Blattverschiebungen entstanden sind. Das Ausmaß des lateralen Versatzes ist schwer abzuschätzen. Diese Bewegungen finden seit dem mittleren Miozän statt und sind möglicherweise immer noch aktiv.

This study was carried out under the auspices of the Departamento de Investigaciones Geológicas del C.S.I.C., Centro Coordinado con la Universidad de Granada, during a research project entitled: "Borde mediterráneo español: Evolución del Orógeno Bético y Geodinámica de las Depresiones Neógenas".
