Abstract

The Fuente Vidriera (FV) section is located on a valley slope (38° 03′ 19.8″ N; 02° 07′ 01.7″ W), 15 km west of the village of Barranda (Murcia Province), near Caravaca de la Cruz (Fig. 3.1). The study section pertains to the Upper Pliensbachian to uppermost Toarcian of the Zegrí Formation, and contains alternating marls and marly limestones in the lower part with nodular marly limestones in the upper part.
