dc.description [EN] The Early Permian (Autunian) has not been identifi ed up to now in the subsurface of the Tertiary Ebro Basin because of the scarcity of oil well boreholes reaching the Variscan basement and the systematic attribution of a Carboniferous age, without any paleontological data, to the unmetamorfosed siliciclastic sediments found at the base of some of them, clearly above the Early Paleozoic basement. Grey and black shale samples recovered from cores preserved in the REPSOL-YPF archives of the Caspe-1 oil well between meters 1.437 and 1.449 have yielded palynological assemblages dominated by Vittatina costabilis, Potonieisporites novicus, Potonieisporites sp., and other poorly preserved elements. This association has an Early Permian (Autunian) age and closely resembles other fi ndings in the Iberian Ranges, the Pyrenees and the southern margin of the Iberian Massif, shading new light on the early stages of the extensional events taking place in central and NE parts of the Iberian Microplate just after the main compressive phases of the Variscan orogeny.
dc.description [ES] El Pérmico Inferior (Autuniense) no había sido identifi cado hasta ahora en el subsuelo de la Cuenca Terciaria del Ebro dada la escasez de pozos de petróleo que alcanzasen el basamento varisco de la zona y la sistemática atribución de una edad Carbonífero, sin dato paleontológico alguno, a los sedimentos siliciclásticos no metamórfi cos encontrados en la base de algunos de ellos, claramente sobre el basamento del Paleozoico Inferior. Se recuperaron muestras de lutitas grises y negras de testigos conservados en los archivos de REPSOL-YPF del sondeo Caspe-1, entre los metros 1.437 y 1.449, que han proporcionado una asociación de palinomorfos compuesta por Vittatina costabilis, Potonieisporites novicus, Potonieisporites sp., y otros elementos peor conservados. Esta asociación tiene una edad Pérmico Inferior (Autuniense) y tiene gran similitud con otras descritas en la Cordillera Ibérica, los Pirineos y el borde S del Macizo Ibérico, arrojando nueva luz sobre los primeros eventos extensivos que tuvieron lugar en el centro y NE de la Microplaca Ibérica inmediatamente después de las principales fases de compresión de la orogenia Varisca.
dc.description The authors thank REPSOL-YPF and specially its geologist Juan García Mallo for permission to sample the cores of the Caspe-1 oil well preserved in their archives. We also thank Carlos Sánchez and Modesto Escudero for their help with the line drawings. This is a contribution to Project BTE 2002-00755 and CGL2005-01520BTE of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science.i
