Resumen:
|
Lower Cretaceous sandstones from the Maestrat Basin are characterized by differences in detrital composition, provenance and degree of albitized feldspars (partial to complete). Petrological composition of Lower Cretaceous sandstones revealed a mixed provenance from plutonic and metamorphic source areas. A progressively major influence of granitic source rocks was detected from the lowermost Mora petrofacies toward the uppermost El Castellar and Camarillas petrofacies. Albitization of detrital feldspars occurred in all the studied sandstones, but feldspars were completely albitized in the lowermost Mora Fm. and only partially albitized in the overlying Castellar and Camarillas formations. However, all the Lower Cretaceous sandstones underwent, approximately, the same burial and thermal conditions (119-134ºC; based on vitrinite reflectance and thermal modelling). The decrease in replacive albite/detrital feldspars ratio from the lowermost Mora Fm. toward the uppermost Camarillas Fm. was related to differences in detrital composition and provenance of sandstones. Albitization was pervasive in the Mora Fm. sandstones because of its dominant metamorphic source areas, which implies a relative low abundance of K-feldspar compared to plagioclase. In contrast, the abundance of K-feldspars in Castellar and Camarillas formations prevented the complete albitization of feldspars. Thus, differences in original composition and provenance of sandstones influenced significantly the different degree of albitization for comparable burial and thermal rates.
