User:Matt/- Sobrarbe Formation

The Sobrarbe Formation is the Upper Lutetian central part of an approximately 3000 m thick package of Lutetian to Priabonian sediments in the Ainsa Basin. It contains 5.5 km of continuous outcrop exposure from the shelf-edge delta to the distal slope. The shallow-marine succession contains multiple prograding cycles of a small deltaic system which prograded from south-south-east to north-north-west during the Lutetian.

Geographic location

The Ainsa Basin is located in the central Pyrenées of Spain, around and to the south of the town of Ainsa, Huesca, Spain. It is about 25 km wide by 75 km long, and is bound on the east by the Rio Cinca, and the west by the Colina de Boltaña, a prominent anticline.
