Abstract

The Quaternary fans which cover the southernmost part of the El Camp Basin belong to three generations. Noticeable calcrete levels developed on the top of fans from the first and second generation. Radiometric dating by means of U/Th and termolumiscence techniques of the mentioned caliche levels allow us to attribute a minimal age of ca. 300000 years to the top of the first generation fans, and ca. 100000 years to the top of the second generation alluvial fans
