Abstract

We introduce a field trip to the southwestern termination of the Pyrenean sole thrust: the Santo Domingo anticline. The field trip is articulated in three main stops with panoramic views. We pursue to emphasize some outstanding characteristics of this structure: (A) the large-scale progressive (laterally angular) unconformity that crops out in its southern flank, fully records its folding kinematics and witnesses for two distinct deformation periods in relation to the basement activity (Gavarnie gentle folding and Guarga paroxism) (stop #1). (B) The remarkable conical geometry of the fold termination (San Marzal area) that is completely documented by structural and palaeomagnetic analyses (stop #2). (C) The rotational kinematics of this structure recorded in its northern flank. Both the folding and the rotational kinematics can be wholly time-bracketed by means of seven long magnetostratigraphic sections and numerous additional palaeomagnetic sites within the syn-tectonic (syn-rotational) sequence (stop #3). We also describe the overall structure of the Western Pyrenees from a panoramic view from the summit of the anticline (1520 m). All these stops are accessible by car (dirt roads). Finally, an additional field stop (#4) is devoted to the sedimentology of the Lutetian-Bartonian carbonates following a hiking path (3 km) from stop #3.
