The Barremian record of lacustrine lithographic limestones from La Pedrera de Meià (LPM) in the Montsec range (Lleida) has been reassessed. This reassessment aims to shed light on the depositional and paleoenvironmental conditions associated with their formation. LPM consists of 50 m of micritic limestones formed in lacustrine environments, which range from littoral to profundal, featuring cyclic alternations. Low-energy conditions and anoxia in distal facies, combined with potential microbial mediation, may have favored the preservation of soft tissues, thus making the site a Konservat- lagerstätten. Isotopic and ICP-MS results suggest that lakes formed in hydrologically closed conditions, with dysoxia prevalent in most of the LPM section. Sr/Ba indicate a slight increase in salinity, and trace- element analysis suggests a gradual reduction in terrigenous and meteoric water input into the lake. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating geochemical and sedimentological data to understand the vertical evolution of depositional environments that host exceptionally-preserved biotic assemblages.
Los yacimientos Barremienses de las calizas litográficas lacustres de La Pedrera de Meià (LPM) en el Montsec se han reestudiado para dilucidar sus condiciones deposicionales y paleoambientales. LPM consiste en 50 m de calizas micríticas, depositadas en ambientes lacustres litorales a profundos y que alternan cíclicamente. Las condiciones de baja energía, la anoxia de las facies distales y la posible acción microbiana pudieron favorecer la preservación del tejido blando, convirtiendo los yacimientos en Konservat-lagerstätten (Gil-Delgado et al., 2023). Los resultados isotópicos sugieren lagos formados en sistemas hidrológicamente cerrados y disoxia/anoxia en la mayor parte de la sucesión. La relación Sr/Ba y otras evidencias paleontológicas sugieren un aumento de salinidad y los análisis elementales apuntan a una paulatina reducción en la entrada de terrígenos y agua meteórica.
