Levelling Profiles and a GPS Network to Monitor the Active Folding and Faulting Deformation in the Campo de Dalias (Betic Cordillera, Southeastern Spain) [PDF]
The Campo de Dalias is an area with relevant seismicity associated to the active tectonic deformations of the southern boundary of the Betic Cordillera. A non-permanent GPS network was installed to monitor, for the first time, the fault- and fold-related

Jurassic Fe-Mn macro-oncoids from pelagic swells of the External Subbetic (Spain): evidences of microbial origin [PDF]
Ferromanganesiferous macro-oncoids are distinctive from the External Subbetic Zone (Betic Cordillera, SE Spain) in relation to a major heterochronic unconformity, with a Middle Bathonian-Lower Oxfordian minimum hiatus and a Lowest Bathonian-Lowest ...
