Abstract
The Eocene Hecho Group turbidites outcrop in exposures in the south central Pyrenees. The Hecho Group forms a depositional fill of the Tremp-Pamplona Basin, a foreland basin trending parallel to the axial zone of the south central Pyrenees, opening towards the Atlantic and filled from the east (Fig. 20.1). The quality of outcrops and good field relationships between the fluvio-deltaic, shelf and deep-marine deposits of the Tremp-Pamplona Basin have stimulated numerous studies over the last two decades (see Mutti et al. 1989).
