Classif. (Hudec and Jackson, 2009)
Classif. (Jackson and Talbot, 1986)
Age of evaporite flow or deformation (when deformed)
Other comments The Serres de Llevant and the Serra de Tramuntana at the north-western part of the island, are considered to be the north-eastern end of the Betic fold-and-thrust belt. Tramuntana range was affected by a post-thrusting, Serravallian to Upper Miocene extensional faulting episode that re-structured its geometry.
