| Abstract: | Within the area investigated three tectonic units are distinguished which can be referred to the Nevado-Filabride, Ballabona-Cucharón, and Alpujarride complex, respectively. During the Alpine orogeny the rocks considered were subjected to various phases of folding and overthrusting. This tectonic evolution was accompanied by a metamorphism of a plurifacial character. The relation between tectonic events and metamorphic recrystallization is schematically outlined for each of the tectonic units distinguished. The units show marked differences in their degree of metamorphic recrystallization, caused by differences between the metamorphic conditions in each of the units during the earlier stages of metamorphism. The younger stages of metamorphism postdate important overthrust movements and have affected the whole pile of tectonic units. The Palaeozoic (and older?) rock sequences do not yield conclusive evidence of prealpine metamorphism, and definite proof of pre-alpine deformation is wanting. Consequently the difference in metamorphic grade between the Palaeozoic (and older?) and the Permo-Triassic rocks of the Alpujarride complex has to be explained by differences in metamorphism of Alpine age. |
