Resumen

Se presenta un estudio exhaustivo ciclo-magnetostratigráfico y de nanofósiles calcáreos de tres secciones de la sucesión hemipelágica del Maastrichtiense Superior de la Cuenca Vasca (Zumaia, Sopelana y Hendaia). La correlación entre secciones se realiza capa a capa mediante un análisis minucioso del patrón del apilamiento litológico y detalles sedimentarios. Para el análisis espectral se utiliza un registro de carbonato de alta resolución de un intervalo de 64 m debajo del límite K/Pg (Cretácico/Paleógeno), disponible en Zumaia, que contine 72 pares marga-caliza relacionados con el ciclo de precesión. El espectro continuo de ondas pequeñas ayuda a determinar y visualizar el control orbital en las bandas de la excentricidad corta (~100-ka) y larga (405-ka). Se han usado filtros gausianos pasabanda sobre el registro de carbonato para extraer las periodicidades relevantes y se aporta un esquema de numeración de ciclos que se inicia en el límite K/Pg. A continuación, la jerarquía completa de ciclos de precesión y paquetes de la excentricidad se ha extendido hacia la base de la sucesión estudiada, que contiene un total de 33 paquetes relacionados con la excentricidad corta y en consecuencia una duración superior a los 3 Ma. El límite de cron C31r/C31n (posición estimada a ~3.08 Ma debajo del K/Pg) se ha determinado de forma inequívoca en la parte inferior de la sucesión en las tres secciones estudiadas, pero no ha sido posible determinar el límite de cron C30n/C29r debido a una remagnetización inversa generalizada en las litologías rojizas de la parte superior de la sucesión. Los bioeventos relevantes del plankton calcáreo pueden posicionarse con precisión en el modelo ciclo-magnetostratigráfico. Además, la plantilla ciclostratigráfica permite estimar la duración de las secuencias deposicionales de 3^er-orden relacionadas con variaciones del nivel del mar que han sido definidas con anterioridad en la cuenca, y que parecen gobernadas por el ciclo de 1.2 Ma de la oblicuidad de modulación de la amplitud. Esto representa un hecho destacado para el periodo invernadero del Maastrichtiense en el que se cree que los casquetes glaciares continentales fueron efímeros o no existentes, y es un aspecto que necesita ser estudiado con más profundidad.
