Basic mapping of the Geology of the Guadalquivir Valley at 1:200,000 scale. Sheet: Cordoba

Description

The project "Geological Research and Basic Cartography in the Pyrite Belt and surrounding areas" (ICFP), which was undertaken by the Mines Service in collaboration with the Mining Geological Institute of Spain, was carried out between 1997 and 1999 and is a deepening of the previous work developed on this same area by both organizations. The winning companies were a Temporary Union of Companies, INFAPIR, formed by INIMA, INGEMISA and EPTISA, and the company CGS. This project includes the study area of the Geology of the Guadalquivir Valley, corresponding to the surrounding areas, mentioned in the title of the project. The scope of the project had the following objectives: - Update of the basic geological map published by the IGME within the MAGNA program (National Geological Map at 1:50,000 scale). - Update of the geological map at 1:200,000 scale. - Definition of the stratigraphy of the Guadalquivir Basin. - Sedimentological and petrological characterisation of lithostratigraphic units. - Knowledge of the tectonic evolution of the study area, with geological cuts that have allowed the interpretation of the structures. - Integration of the geophysical information of the subsoil and the soundings, which has made possible the realization of deep geological cuts, the delimitations of the olysostromic units in the cuts, the division of the basin filling in Genetic Units and / or UTS and the geometric characterization of thicknesses of sandy levels for hydrogeological purposes. - Collection and updating of existing information on mineral resources, both metallic and non-metallic, and industrial and ornamental rocks. - Compilation and updating of the existing documentation on hydrogeology throughout the study area and the hydrogeological behavior of each of the cartographic units at 1:200,000 scale Base mapping ensures continuity between the different sheets. Each of the sheets contains, in turn, a series of thematic layers that can constitute a single layer of information as they have lateral continuity. Along with the cartographic, a report of each of the leaves, which make up the project, is attached, which describes the geological information contained in the geological maps, including the description of the geological units, stratigraphic, petrology, tectonics, economic geology and the tectosedimentary evolution of the corresponding area, along with a bibliography used for the drafting of said report. In addition, the information resulting from geological investigations is collected, included in an annexed database. The geological research data consists of the results of a series of studies (absolute ages, clays, paleontology, micropaleontology, carbonate petrology, igneous rock petrology, metamorphic rock petrology, terrigen petrology, alterations and geochemistry) carried out on samples collected during the field campaigns carried out during the project. In addition to the above, there is general information about the project, not associated with the analysis of any specific sample. These are mining data, gravimetric profiles, hydrology, reservoirs, stratigraphic columns and descriptive information of the project.
