JURASSIC PALEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF MURCIA (BETIC CORDILLERA, SOUTH-EASTERN SPAIN)
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004 Jurassic rocks of the External and Internal Zones of the Betic Cordillera are widespread in the province of Murcia. Four areas are considered of special interest for stratigraphical and paleontological analysis: a) Sierra Quípar and b) Sierras Lúgar ...

Textural and genetic relationships between glauconite and celadonite at the nanoscale: two different structural-compositional fields [PDF]
European Journal of Mineralogy, 2021 Glauconite and celadonite coexist at the nanometre scale in Early Jurassic submarine volcanic rocks of the Betic Cordillera (southern Spain) as a result of microbial activity.

Seismic source in the Iberian-African plate boundary [PDF]
, 2003 The plate boundary between Iberia and Africa has been studied using data on seismicity and focal mechanisms. The region has been divided into three areas: A; the Gulf of Cadiz; B, the Betics, Alboran Sea and northern Morocco; and C, Algeria.

Palaeoseismic crisis in the Galera Fault (southern Spain): consequences in Bronze Age settlements? [PDF]
Solid EarthPalaeoseismological studies play a crucial role in the seismic characterization of regions with slow-moving faults. This is the case in the central Betic Cordillera, a highly populated area for which the record of prehistoric earthquakes is very limited,

TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE BETIC CORDILLERA: AN OVERVIEW
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2004 The Betic (Southern Spain) and the Rif (Morocco) mountain chains, connected through the Gibraltar Strait, shapes a W-E elongated and arcuate Alpine orogenic belt. The Alborân Sea, in continuity to the east with the South Balearic Basin, is located in the inner part of this alpine belt. The Iberian and African continental forelands bound the region as a

Brachiopod faunal exchange through an epioceanic-epicontinental transitional area from the Early Jurassic South Iberian platform system [PDF]
, 2016 The La Mola region (eastern External Betic Zone) can be regarded as one of the easternmost complete Jurassic successions of the Betic Cordillera in the Iberian Peninsula, but the paleogeographical setting of their outcrops remains widely discussed ...

Main faults of the Betic Cordillera
Boletín Geológico y Minero, 2020 In the Betic Cordillera the faults correspond to thrusts forming tectonic units and to three important sets of vertical or quasi-vertical faults. In the Internal Zone the thrusts formed mainly during the Oligocene, under an approximately N-S compression. Later, in the Burdigalian, the Internal Zone collided with the External Zone, which underwent major
