The turbidite depositional systems of the northwestern Mediterranean sea (deep sea Ebro fan, Valencia trough and deep Rhone fan) are considered modern analogs of the Cerrajon formation (Late Hauterivian-Upper Albian, Intermediate realm, Betic chains) depositional model. The similarity between the morpho-structural settings, which Instituto de Geologia «Jaime Almera», CSIC, Barcelona. * Departamento de Geologia del Colegio Universitario de Jaeen, y Departa ** mento de Estratigrafia, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Granada. 499 conditioned a longitudinal dispersal system in the distal continental margin, is considered as the main factor giving rise to this resemblance.
