Pyrenees mountains map4/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Slates are covered by massive reef limestones (Foratata Limestones, Eifelian-Givetian, 300–400 m thick, ( CitationRíos et al., 1987)). They are overlain by Emsian to Eifelian slates that crop out in the central part of the map with at least 500 m thickness they laterally vary to slates with sandstone intercalations ( Figure 2(B)) and very fosiliferous ferruginous limestones to the top ( Figure 2(C)). The Lower Devonian is composed of alternating grey limestones, slates and massive limestones with great lateral continuity ( CitationMandilar and Pacino Formations, (Ríos et al., 1987 CitationValero, 1974), Figure 2(A)) and a minimum thickness of 200 m (Rodríguez, Citation2011). ![]() ![]() Because of this, currently many formations lack an accurate age. Devonian rocks crop out extensively over the study area they are characterised by a high fossil conTJOM but in general without biostratigraphic utility. A metasedimentary sequence of Devonian to Permian age, intruded by the Cauterets-Panticosa batholith to the Northeast, crops out in the studied area of the Axial Zone. ![]()
