During the [[Barremian]], deposition of [[platform]] carbonates continued in the north, grading from shallow-water algal types, with fewer [[evaporite]]s, to [[breccia]]s. South, west, and possibly east of the Bahamas Platform, deep-water sedimentation of [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pelagic pelagic] (nannoplankton) carbonates continued. However, because of the late Neocomian tectonic activity, conglomerates, derived from the previously deposited limestones in the Las Villas* belt and from the exposed granitic basement in the [[Cifuentes]]* belt to the south, became common. No Barremian sediments were deposited in some of the southern areas. However, the basaltic to intermediate flows possibly continued to accumulate over the southern part of the [[Wikipedia:Basic_rock|basic]] igneous basement.
