Classif. (Jackson and Talbot, 1986)
Age of evaporite flow or deformation (when deformed)
Other comments Host rocks show a unusual, reduced piercement (see Teixell and Barnolas 1995). The diapir is surrounded by a thicker overburden and a significant thickness of syntectonic deposits of the Graus–Tremp Basin. Genetically linked to the Mediano salt-cored anticline (ID #066): pop-up structure evolved from the salt-cored Mediano anticline during Lutetian.
