El registro sedimentario Burdigaliense-Langhiense de Mallorca refleja el relleno de pequeños surcos de antepaís que se generaron por subsidencia flexural frente al orógeno bético. Este registro sinorogénico incluye una unidad inferior que caracteriza la sedimentación en una plataforma marina somera (Fm. Sant Elm) y otra superior turbidítica (Fm. Banyalbufar). En el límite entre ambas unidades se ha reconocido, en la zona central de la isla, la existencia de un nivel de pisolitos ferruginosos de menos de 20 cm de potencia. Los pisolitos llegan a superar los 6 mm de diámetro, son esféricos y están constituidos casi exclusivamente por delgadas envueltas concéntricas de goethita, aunque en los pisolitos de mayor tamaño alguna envuelta es de calcita. La posición estratigráfica del nivel de pinolitos coincide, aproximadamente, con el límite entre las dos unidades anteriormente citadas, localizándose inmediatamente antes del inicio de la sedimentación turbidítica, y se correspondería con el máximo transgresivo en la cuenca marina. Tanto el vulcanismo Burdigaliense que ha sido reconocido en la zona como la removilización de suelos lateríticos en relación con la transgresión marina pudieron haber actuado como fuentes suministradoras del hierro.
The syn-orogenic Early-Middle Miocene of Mallorca constitutes a sequence which records the deepening and infill of small fore-deeps related to flexural subsidence caused by the Betic orogene thrusting. In the syn-orogenic Miocene of the central part of the island, a pisolitic iron bed less than 20 cm thick is first described in order to their stratigraphic, environmental and palaeogeographic significance. The pisolites are highly sphaerical and range from less than 0.25 to more than 6 mm in size. They are formed by concentric thin laminae (< 100 m) of goethite. The largest-sized pisolites also contain calcite laminae. The pisolitic bed is approximately located in the boundary between the shallow marine platform and the deeper turbidite deposits, recording the basin deepening and the maximum marine transgression. Both, the Burdigalian volcanism described in the zone as well as the removilization of continental lateritic soils by marine transgression are invoked as the probable iron sources.
