Description

In this paper we’ll define de main facies groups from the Central Algarve range calcite tufa, articulating them to the potential sedimentation palaeoenvironments. The main group of facies characterized are clastic facies (conglomerate and dusty tufa) and the accretionary (bioherm tufa), so that the first are the early and erosive stages while the latter can be attributed to the accretionary calcite tufa stages.
