Geological Setting ,
Outcropping/buried
Evaporite unit/s name

Classif. (Hudec and Jackson, 2009)
Classif. (Jackson and Talbot, 1986)
Age of evaporite flow or deformation (when deformed)
Other comments Outcrops correspond to faukt-propagation folds of the (buried) Cogolludo back-thrust system. Thickness of evaporite layers remain constant during thrusting and subsequent folding, according to the seismic data (see de Vicente and Muñoz-Martín, 2013).
