The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

Changing components, rock textures, lithofacies, platform types and architecture throughout
time are unique characteristics of carbonate rocks. Characterizing these attributes has been …

Stratal patterns and facies architecture develop in response to sediment flux and the
available space for sediment accumulation (accommodation). In siliciclastic systems, these …

The facies distribution in the sedimentary units infilling a series of Neogene basins has been
used to reconstruct the relief generation and uplift across the Internal Zone of the Betic …

The presence of foramol, rhodalgal and bryomol skeletal grain associations in ancient
shallow‐marine limestones is commonly interpreted as evidence for non‐tropical …

The Society makes every effort to ensure that the scientific and production quality of its
books matches that of its journals. Since 1997, all book proposals have been refereed by …

Early marine seafloor lithification of carbonate sediments leads to the formation of
hardgrounds and is known from rocks as old as the Proterozoic. Hardground surfaces …

The Oligocene represents a key interval during which coralline algae became dominant on
carbonate ramps and luxuriant coral reefs emerged on a global scale. So far, few studies …

Different types of carbonate platforms formed in the Mediterranean during the Miocene: low-
angle homoclinal-types of ramp, distally steepened ramps, flat-topped platforms and reef …

Cretaceous rocks crop out extensively in the three main Alpine orogenic belts of Spain: the
Betic Cordillera, the Pyrenees and the Iberian Ranges. These rocks, deformed during …
