Popis: The stratigraphy of Betic of Malaga and of Subbetic near Velez Rubio is given. No major tectonic movement took place between Paleozoic and Oligo-Miocene in the area of deposition of the Betic of Malaga and neighbourhood. The geology and formations of the narrow zone between Betic of Malaga and Subbetic are described. Nappe movement of the Betic of Malaga is older than the thrusting of Subbetic over Prebetic. Age of the former movement and origin of major tectonic units are tested on the characteristics of a pre-Orbulina marl formation and on the distribution of the detritus contained in this formation.
