Short summary
Short summary
Among sedimentary rocks, evaporites (as salt) have a particular behavior when deformed under geological forces: they flow while the others break. Such behavior controls the evolution of mountain building events. By mapping the distribution of rocks and interpreting the subsurface architecture of geological structures we were able to reconstruct the mountain building processes of an area in the Southern Pyrenees and how those evaporites flowed and accumulated.

Short summary
Although significant progress in Early Jurassic cyclostratigraphy has been made in the last few decades, fewer studies have focused on the climatic and environmental impact of orbital cycles on the sedimentary record. This study presents an original orbitally modulated depositional model, which provides new insight into the formation of orbitally modulated organic-rich calcareous hemipelagic rhythmites accumulated in early Pliensbachian times in the northern Iberian palaeomargin.
