TASK 1: In Google Earth, use the “path” tool to map the contact between the Alpujarride complex (here mostly purplish phyllite) and the Neogene sediments (light yellows to greenish-gray) between latitude 36.975810 (south) and 37.016663 (north).
Do you think this contact is tectonic or stratigraphic?
Why?
What is your estimate of the average strike azimuth, dip direction, and dip angle of this contact?
Can you find the same contact elsewhere on the slopes of the Sierra Alhamilla?
Does it look the same?
Save your map and describe your observations.
TASK 2: Use again the “path” tool in Google Earth to define a topographic profile between the highway (A-92) and the crest of the Sierra Alhamilla (approximately in W to E direction, at a latitude of 36.991677˚N). To display the profile after you have created the line with the path tool, right click on the line and choose “”show elevation profile”. Be aware that this profile will be vertically exaggerated: you will need to rescale it after saving, to have a 1:1 vertical to horizontal ratio. Capture it as an image, rescale it, then sketch in the geology (the contact you mapped in TASK 1), plus the contact between Alpujarride and Nevado-Filabride complexes. Use the satellite images to see whether you can recognize the changes from black schists to phyllite/carbonates for this contact, and also use all the information you have learned from the field stops to determine how to draw this contact in (contact type, contact orientation, which rocks are above and below it).
Tip: in Google Earth, when you scroll along the profile with the mouse pointer, it shows you the position along the line of section: use this feature to locate your contacts precisely on the section.
TASK 3: use Google Earth and find the Hoyazo crater. What is the elevation of the reef limestones on the rim of the crater? At what depth do coral reefs normally form? Discuss possible causes for the current position of the limestones.
This volcano is known as "volcan de las granatillas" (garnet volcano) because of the abundance of garnets in the dacite it erupted.
This dacite also contains pieces of garnet micaschist (xenoliths, i.e. "foreign rocks") that belong to the metamorphic basement (garnet mica schists are common in the Nevado-Filábride complex). Look for the 3D models with dacite samples (there are three), and the close-up photos of xenoliths and garnets.
Even without any radiometric dating (which dates the dacite at 11.9 Ma), this relationship proves that the volcanism is younger than the metamorphic rocks it brings to the surface. It is a good example of a cross-cutting relationship where the contacts are not visible directly in the field, but where the cross-cutting relation can be inferred.
On top of the volcanic rocks, forming a rim which protects them from erosion, are Messinian reef limestones (find the 3D sample model), which are therefore younger than the volcanics.
There are thus three rock units in the Hoyazo outcrop for which the relative age can be established just by observing their relative position.
Concerning the morphology, the Hoyazo may look like a volcanic crater, but it is actually a volcanic neck, with the remains of the feeding conduit in the center of today's "crater". It is shaped like a crater because the dacite is softer than the limestone and erodes preferentially, leaving a depression. Probably this small volcanic center was an island with a fringing reef and then an atoll in the Messinian (check out the video, using the blue video button to the left of the info button), so limestones were never present in the middle of it.
Check the 3D terrain model: are the reef limestones present only on the rim, or do they extend downward on the outer slope? Why do you think it is so?
Question: do you think that the isolated garnets in the dacite are the same as those in the xenoliths? How could you verify your hypothesis?
As this is the last stop of the trip, it contains a final set of tasks for you (red oval button).
STOP 3 - Low-angle normal faulting between phyllite/quartzite unit and carbonatic unit
You are looking towards the city of Almeria (in the background, along the coast) and the Sierra de Gador (another, larger metamorphic complex, also in the background). Below your position, the road passes through the Neogene sedimentary rocks (lower hills in the middle ground) that lie over the metamorphic basement rock on which you are standing. The contact between sedimentary rocks and basement can be seen when you turn to your left (i.e. looking east): the topmost of the sedimentary rocks form a flat-topped relief that abuts the metamorphic rocks (the flat top is marked, but you will have to find it).
Turn around, then explore this scene and find the 3D model of the fault contact between carbonates and phyllites by hovering with the mouse; click to open it.
These faults are part of a major shear zone at the contact between the Nevado-Filábride and Alpujárride complexes that contributed to the exhumation of the Nevado-Filábride complex. Many of the fault planes in this outcrop show striations and steps that allow us to determine the sense of motion. Find the 3D model of a large fault plane with striations.
The carbonates are very good for preserving kinematic indicators on fault planes. Along this stretch of road there are multiple textbook-cases of slickensides, slickenlines, and steps. Look around to find photos of more fault surfaces. Carbonates also produce very well-preserved fault breccia (carbonatic cement forms easily, and makes the breccia hard to erode): find the 3D model with the sample of carbonatic breccia.
To examine the rocks in more detail, you can find the 3D models and thin sections of two additional rock samples: one from the phyllite, and another from one of the quartzite lenses embedded in the phyllite. These two samples are actually from an outcrop further north (Mini-Hollywood), but the lithology is the same as here.
This place has also some historical significance. The town of Baños de Sierra Alhamilla at the upper end of the road (find the video) has a hot spring that has been exploited several times in the course of millennia, and on the slopes behind it there are ancient mining sites (some of which can be recognized in the video). If you want additional info, when you open the video, choose then the option of opening it in YouTube (which will allow you to read the text below the video).
Warning: careful about the military range...
STOP 1: Crest of the Sierra Alhamilla
The Sierra Alhamilla is one of the smallest of the antiforms in the Betic Cordillera, and it is a metamorphic core complex.
The oldest rocks of this core complex crop out along its crest: black graphitic micaschists (find the 3D model and thin section in this scene) and quartzites from the Nevado-Filábride complex, which is also the lowermost tectonic unit. The name of this complex is derived from the fact that it forms the core of the much larger Sierra Nevada (west of here) and Sierra de los Filabres (to the north).
The protoliths of the schists and quartzites were originally deposited as pelites and sandstones respectively, during the Paleozoic. They were metamorphosed (greenschist to amphibolite facies) in the Late Paleozoic during the Variscan orogeny, and then overprinted during the Alpine orogeny. The youngest metamorphism in rocks from the Nevado-Filábride complex is of Miocene age.
Carbonatic unit: you can examine the rock type in the 3D sample of fault breccia from further uphill along the road, which is made of carbonates from this unit.
Neogene sedimentary rocks.
The Sierra Cabrera is also dominated by a core of graphitic schists.
This is a stack of questions. To access each subsequent question, you need to answer correctly to the one before. It works the same way for all quizzes in this trip.
If you answer a question wrong, you will be sent either back to the stop description to revise or, in some cases, directed to a map or to another stop.
To collect all the available points, you need to access and answer correctly all the questions in each stack (though you can move on in the trip even if you answer a question wrong).
