  • Temperate carbonates with abundant remains of braquiopods and bivalves deposited in a carbonate ramp developed at the northern margin of the Sorbas Basin during the latest Tortonian-earliest Messinian. Small submarine channels linked to ephemeral rivers curses (ramblas) excavated into the ramp, eroding and transporting sediment seawards from the factory. Lateral bars developed at the margin of the channels indicate an active sediment transport though the submarine channels. Small submarine fans formed on the ramp at the end of the channels.
