Highstand platform of Depositional Sequence B Benassal Formation, Late Aptian, Mola de la Garumba. Visible part of pen = 12-2 cm. (B) Detail of wholly preserved platy corals in growth position embedded in nodular marly limestones in slope settings.

(C) Close-up view of two specimens of Plicatula placunea (centre), of an unidentifiec large bivalve (bottom centre) and of a small Deshayesites deshayesi specimen, which is indicated by the key Transgressive basinal marls of Depositional Sequence A, Forcall Formation, Early Aptian, Mola d’en Camaras. Vis ible part of key = 4-6 cm. (D) Photomicrograph of a moderately sorted grainstone texture with abundant peloid: and fragments of echinoids. Note the presence of a fragment of a bryozoan colony (centre right). The microfacie: is collected from the level with trough cross-bedding shown in Fig. 11B.

Fig. 7. Schematic block diagram showing the situation of the preserved sedimentary successions corresponding to the five hillocks studied (Mola de Morella, Mola d’en Camaras, Mola de la Saranyana, Mola de la Vila and Mola de la Garumba) within the conceptual model provided in Fig. 3. See Fig. 3 for key. intervals of white marls, decimetre-thick ochre nodular marly limestones and centimetre-thick to metre-thick limestones. Scattered oyster spec- imens are occasionally embedded within the marls. In the marly limestones, oysters are abundant and frequently display a clustered growth. Rarely, scleractinian colonies in growth position occur. The limestones exhibit different extures and bedding patterns. These comprise: i) white nodular mudstones, which occasion- ally display Thalassinoides, and contain scat- ered biseriate foraminifera, miliolids and fragments of echinoids; (ii) light grey, occasio- nally burrowed, wackestone to packstone tex- tures with peloids, orbitolinids, other foraminifera, and fragments of serpulids, gym- nocodiacean algae, echinoids, oysters and other molluscs; (iii) light grey and ochre floatstone to rudstone textures dominated by fragments of oysters, but also including rudist shells, fragments of other molluscs and echinoids, ben- thic foraminifera, peloids, unidentified burrows, ithoclasts (Fig. 6A) and mud pebbles and mud drapes (Fig. 6B); and (iv) ochre and light grey poorly sorted to well-sorted grainstones Fig. 6C), which exhibit cross-bedding, herring- bone cross-stratification (Fig. 6D), tidal bundles Fig. 6E) and burrows, and contain abundant peloids, miliolids, orbitolinids, other benthic foraminifera and fragments of echinoids, decapods, algae, bryozoans, oysters, gastropods and other molluscs. The grainstones with The Aptian record of the northern Maestrat Basin is subdivided into three depositional sequences (A, B and C) based on the distribu- tion of lithofacies, architecture of the strata and the identification of sequence stratigraphic surfaces. A 2D continuous platform to basin conceptual profile displaying the sedimentary response for each depositional sequence of the long-term relative sea-level evolution is pro- vided in Fig. 3. Figure 7 displays the position of each hillock (‘Mola’) studied within this conceptual model.
