En este trabajo se presentan los resultados iniciales de las propiedades magnéticas (susceptibilidad magnética dependiente de la frecuencia, ¿fd%) y geoquímicas (composición elemental) de lutitas aluviales distales del Mioceno inferior y medio que afloran en el sector occidental de la Cuenca del Ebro. La sedimentología y las propiedades geoquímicas apuntan a una procedencia pirenaica para el conjunto de lutitas estudiadas, así como a procesos pedogénicos incipientes ocurridos tras la sedimentación. Las variaciones en Rb/Sr y ¿fd%, parámetros ampliamente utilizados para establecer la intensidad de dichos procesos edáficos, presentan similitudes, pero también algunas discrepancias notables a lo largo de la sección estratigráfica, de manera que no permiten establecer una relación clara entre la intensidad de los procesos pedogénicos y las condiciones climáticas de las que éstos, presuntamente, dependen. Así, resulta llamativo que el pico del óptimo climático del Mioceno (MCO, 17- 15.5 Ma), establecido en la secuencia a partir de datos sedimentológicos y paleontológicos independientes, no aparece asociado a una mayor pedogénesis. Estos resultados sugieren que las interpretaciones paleoclimáticas basadas en propiedades magnéticas y geoquímicas de lutitas de origen aluvial distal en la Cuenca del Ebro han de realizarse con cautela y en un marco multidisciplinar.
Here we present the initial results on the magnetic (frequency-dependent susceptibility, fd%) and geochemical (elemental composition) properties of lower and middle Miocene, distal alluvial mudrocks that crop out in the western sector of the Ebro Basin. The sedimentological and geochemical properties point to a Pyrenean origin for the studied sedimentary sequence, as well as to incipient pedogenic processes that occurred after sedimentation. Variations if fd% and Rb/Sr, parameters widely used to constrain the intensity of such pedogenic processes, show similarities but also some notable discrepancies throughout the stratigraphic section, so that they do not allow establishing a mutually consistent relationship between the intensity of the pedogenic processes and the underlying climatic conditions. Thus, it is striking that the thermal peak of the Miocene climatic optimum (MCO, 17-15.5 Ma), established in the sequence from independent sedimentological and paleontological data, does not appear to be associated with enhanced pedogenic conditions. These results suggest that paleoclimatic interpretations based on magnetic and geochemical properties of distal alluvial mudrocks in the Ebro Basin must be carried out with caution and in the framework of multidisciplinary datasets.
