Bartonian-Priabonian rotational evolution of the central Jaca-Pamplona Basin, Southern Pyrenees

Orogenic zones often exhibit vertical axis rotations (VAR) due to the accommodation of shortening differences along the main structural. In this work, we focus on the central Jaca-Pamplona Basin, where a Bartonian-Priabonian sequence crops out. There two magnetostratigraphic sections, Izaga and Berdún (2800 m), record about 5 Myr of the tectonic and sedimentary evolution of the basin. They have been discretized every 150 m to evaluate the rotational kinematics (spatio-temporal variations of the VAR). In the Izaga section the rotation is non-significant and noisier (dec=003º; inc=39º; a95=18°; k=23) than in the Berdún section, eastern sector, where the clockwise VAR is slightly larger (dec=008º; inc=46º; a95=10°; k=29) although it still overlaps the reference direction. Additional work is needed to refine this paleomagnetic record.
