Abstract
In the Mula Formation of the Eastern Malaguides (Sierra Espuña and neighbouring areas) the early Paleocene (Danian) and the late Paleocene (Selandian and Thanetian) have been dated. These deposits record the transgressive-regressive-transgressive evolution of a mixed siliciclastic-carbon- atic platform which received clastic sediments from a carbonate continent with low relief, affected by intense pedogenesis, with a high production of Microcodium and located to the south-east in the malaguide unit of Morron de Totana. There, ‘Garumnian’-like continental red deposits fill erosional troughs within the Mesozoic. Upwelling currents rich in inorganic nutrients, coming from deeper zones of the basin, favoured eutrophication of platform areas.
