Abstract
Over 5,000 meters of Jurassic sediments accumulated in the Lusitanian Basin. The Upper Jurassic contains a great variety of fades, ranging from reefs to fluviatile red beds. The basin contains a fully marine sequence (see Fig. 41-1 and Table 41-1), whereas the shelf area exhibits a great variety of shallow marine and continental deposits. The three examples of shoaling deposits described in this paper are from the top of the Montejunto Beds, the Vale Verde Beds and overlying Pholodomya protei Beds, and the top of the Alcobaça Beds.
