Metales traza en la franja costera del Algarve, I: asociaciones, orígenes y remobilización del componente natural

Abstract

Los colores rojo oscuro encontrados en las camadas superiores de los acantilados a lo largo de la costa del Algarve se deben a la presencia de pigmentos de goetita/hematita dispersos en los sedimentos predominantemente arenosos. Los análisis químicos y mineralógicos de muestras de estos sedimentos siliciclásticos enriquecidos de hierro, pertenecientes al Plioceno/Cuaternario, así como de las muestras de terra rosa tomadas de las cavidades cársticas en los terrenos calcáreos circundantes, permiten establecer la conexión genética entre ellas en la franja costera del Algarve. Se postula que, durante el periodo de erosión, las terra rosa desarrolladas sobre las calizas de Terciario y Mesozoico fueron transportadas y depositadas encima de los sedimentos arenosos aflorantes en el área costera del Algarve. El análisis de la distribución de elementos trazos en estos sedimentos ha permitido concluir que el último proceso de remobilización y redistribución de los pigmentos ferruginosos condujo a la formación de hardpans, glóbulos y costras. La disolución y reprecipitación de los óxidos de hierro, condujo a la transformación de la goetita en hematita.

The deep red colours observed on the topmost portions of cliffs along the Algarve coast are due to the presence of goethite/haematite pigments dispersed within the predominantly sandy sediments. Chemical and mineralogical analyses of these iron-enriched Pliocene/Quaternary siliciclastic sediments and of samples of terra rosa taken from carstic cavities in neighbouring calcareous terrains indicate the genetic link between these materials on the Algarve coast. The authors suggest that the terra rosas which developed on Tertiary and Mesozoic limestones were transported and deposited on top of sandy sediments cropping in a coastal area of the Algarve, during the period of erosion in Late Pliocene/Early Quaternary times. The distribution of trace elements in these sediments supports the conclusion that the later process of remobilisation and redistribution of the ferruginous pigments led to the formation of hardpans, globules and crusts. The dissolution and reprecipitation of the iron oxides leads to the transformation of goethite into haematite.
