Abstract

In the present work we introduce the detailed geologic mapping of Sant Llorenç del Munt, located in the south-east edge of the Catalan Central Basin, in the eastern part of the Ebro Basin. During the middle-upper Eocene, this massif was a fan delta fed by the reliefs of the Catalan Coastal Ranges. The mapped zone covers from the southern contact with the materials of the Catalan Coastal Ranges at Matadepera, to the delta plain facies at Mura, about 10 km to the north-north-west. The lithologies of the studied area are mainly conglomerates with some alternating sandstones. For the first time we map the two different kinds of conglomerate from Sant Llorenç del Munt: carbonate conglomerate and polygenic conglomerate. The four main carbonate conglomerate levels are tracked and mapped throughout the massif.
