Resumen
Se ha estudiado la mineralogía y la geoquímica de una serie de niveles carbonatados y negros en el Barranco del Agua, situado en la Cuenca de Guadix-Baza, con el objetivo de conocer las condiciones paleoclimáticas subyacentes. Para ello, se han empleado los índices Ca/Mg, el diagrama Mg-Fe-Al, el diagrama A-CN-K (Al2O3 (A), CaO +Na2 (CN) y K2O (K)) y el índice Sr/Cu, entre otros. Los resultados muestran que el origen de los niveles negros es predominantemente detrítico debido al aporte de materiales terrígenos y vegetales erosionados y transportados por las escorrentías como consecuencia de un clima frío y húmedo. Por otra parte, los materiales carbonatados se originaron debido a la precipitación directa de las sales disueltas como consecuencia de episodios con fuertes tasas de evaporación y desecación de la cuenca.
The mineralogy and geochemistry of a series of carbonate and black levels in the Barranco del Agua, located in the Guadix-Baza Basin, have been studied in order to know the underlying paleoclimatic conditions. For this purpose, the Ca/Mg indices, the Mg-Fe-Al diagram, the A-CN-K diagram (Al2O3 (A), CaO +Na2 (CN) and K2O (K)) and the Sr/Cu index, among others, have been used. The results show that the origin of the black levels is predominantly detritic due to the contribution of terrigenous and vegetal materials eroded and transported by runoffs as a consequence of a cold and wet climate. On the other hand, the carbonate materials originated due to the direct precipitation of dissolved salts as a consequence of episodes with strong evaporation and desiccation rates in the basin.
