FIG. 2. — Palaeogeographic maps of the Carboneras Basin during the Pliocene: A, palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the Car- boneras Basin during the transgressive stage of the Lower Pliocene sequence. Three different shelf types developed at the margins of the basin due to local factors such as hydrodynamics and topography (modified from Martín et al. 2004); B, reconstruction of the Carboneras and Almería-Níjar basins during the highstand stage of the Lower Pliocene sequence. Terrigenous delta lobes from the north prograded into the Carboneras Basin, endings carbonate deposition except at the southern margin, the farthest from the silici- clastic input (modified from Aguirre et al. 2008).
