Tertiary alluvial fan deposits along the margin of the Ebro foreland basin north of Huesca, Spain, are remarkable for the range of sedimentological and tectonic features preserved within them. The fan deposits formed after the Southern Pyrenean thrust front (the Guarga Thrust) was established in this area, forming steep topography at the basin margin in the mid-Oligocene. Some shortening Continued during deposition of the earliest fans resulting in synsedimentary faults, folds and unconformities. Clast compositions in the fan conglomerate beds record unroofing of the thrust front and also reveal differences in bedrock provenance between adjacent, coeval fan deposits. Bedrock provenance also influenced processes of deposition, with fans built up of detritus derived front areas rich in gypsum and mudrock showing more evidence of debris-flow processes. Deposition by debris flows also dominated the smallest fan body, but the majority of the fans were the products of sedimentation from unconfined or poorly confined traction currents. These resulted in sheets of conglomerate in the more proximal areas. Within individual fan bodies the proportion of sandstone increases over a distance Of LIP to 5 km to where the distal fan facies are seen its thin sandstore and mudstone beds. The fringes of the fan bodies interfinger with lacustrine and fluvial facies, which indicate a temperate-semi-arid palaeoclimate. Vertical aggradation of the fail deposits due to rising base level in the Ebro Basin in the Oligocene and early Miocene was followed by deep incision following it line Miocene base level-fall. This led to the partial erosion of the fan deposits and their spectacular exposure in the modern landscape.
