Resumo
This work highlights the new geological data from subsurface in the Ciudad Rodrigo basin which reveals important stratigraphic constrains. The Borehole of Calzada de Don Rodrigo is 122 m deep and reaches the basement of the basin constituted by schists and slates from the Precambrian-Cambrian Monterrubio Formation. On this basement there is non-conformity surface succeeded by the first terrigenous succession 62 m thick, mainly composed by polimictic pebbles and cobbles at the base (firts 12 m) and 50 of mudstones and fine-grained sandstones at the top. The upper 57 m previous fine succession. This disconformity is marked by a thick (3m) calcrete bed followed by a red siliciclastic breccia. The lowest succession is interpreted as distal alluvial and lacustrine deposits and is correlated with the Entrala Formation (Rhenanian-Headonian; Eoceno). The Upper succession is interpreted as a braided fluvial system with paleocurrents towards the northeast and belongs to the El Cubito Foramtion (Aragonian; Mioceno).
