The Permo-Triassic of the Catalan coastal cordillera: facies and sedimentary petrology, part 1

This paper analyses the facies and Sedimentary Petrology of the PermoTriassic sediments outcroping in the Catalan Coastal Ranges. The studied area has been divided into four zones of easy description: two northern zones, the Montseny and Garraf areas and two southern zones, the Miramar and Pradesh-Colldejou areas. The method used to study the characteristics of each zone is similar. It consists in a description of the facies and sedimentary environment, its petrologic features, provenance area and the diagenetic processes that took place. Each description ends by a tectonic-sedimentary model applied to each half-graben basin. -from English summary
