Litoestratigrafía y mineralogía del yacimiento paleontológico de Makro-Las Rejas (Mioceno, Cuenca de Madrid)

Abstract

Se describen las características litoestratigráficas de un nuevo yacimiento de fósiles de vertebrados del Mioceno de la Cuenca de Madrid. La sucesión estratigráfica está formada principalmente por litologías limo-arcillosas y margosas, depositadas en ambientes palustres- lacustres. El análisis preliminar de la mineralogía indica predominio de los filosilicatos, seguidos de feldespatos, cuarzo, carbonatos (calcita y dolomita en cantidades muy variables) y localmente indicios de yeso. En la fracción arcillosa predominan las esmectitas (siempre más del 70%) seguidas de micas y cantidades variables de sepiolita y clorita y/o caolinita. Las microtexturas muestran diferentes tipos de asociaciones de partículas de esmectitas formando generalmente texturas en panal de abeja. Se observa modificación local de la microtextura por la acción de organismos bioturbadores, así como indicios de acción microbiana The lithostratigraphic characteristics of a new Miocene vertebrate fossil site in the Madrid Basin are described. The stratigraphic succession is mainly formed of silty-clayey and marly lithologies, deposited in palustrine-lacustrine environments. A preliminary analysis of the mineralogy indicates predominance of phyllosilicates, followed by feldspars, quartz, carbonates (calcite and dolomite in very variable quantities) and local evidence of gypsum. Smectites predominate in the clay fraction (always more than 70%) followed by micas and varying amounts of sepiolite and chlorite and/or kaolinite. Microtextures show different types of smectite particle associations generally forming honeycomb textures. Local modification of the microtexture due to bioturbation is observed, as well as evidence of microbial action
