Abstract

Facies, stratal and spectral analyses of an outer ramp lime mudstone succession (Aguilón, north Iberian Ranges, Spain) are presented in this work. The studied succession is Late Kimmeridgian (eudoxus and beckeri zones) in age and comprises the transgressive and highstand deposits of a third-order depositional sequence. A number of higher-order sequences (bundles and sets of bundles) have been identified based on the comparative analysis of the bedding planes. The bundles and sets of bundles show a well-defined stratal pattern. Spectral analysis has provided further independent confirmation of the cyclical nature of the bundles and sets of bundles defined from field analysis.
