Abstract

The Mola Unit has a Jurassic stratigraphic section with features that are otherwise characteristic of the Intermediate Domain (a dolomitization with rising Middle Jurassic materials and calcareous turbidites in the Upper Jurassic) and the External Subbetic (pelagic and condensed facies of Ammonitico Rosso facies). The composition of the calcareous turbidites, along with the present position of the tectonic unit, leads us to think that pelagic Subbetics wells as the source areas of the turbidites. The Jurassic materials of the La Mola unit would have been deposited in the northern part of the External Subbetic swell, making the transition with the Intermediate Domain through
