ROUTE 3 WAYPOINT 7

Waypoint 7. Hornachos or small caves (Map of Route 3) Along the path that accompanies the stream, there is a proliferation of hornachos caves, or small caves that served as shelter from the inclemency of the weather for transient shepherds. The process is similar to what formed the previous caves, but it is possibly also associated here with the presence of underground water that gradually dissolves the limestone massif as well as the processes of landslides. A necropolis has also been found in this area, which has been dated to the middle of the 13rd century, possibly as a result of a battle of the period.

ROUTE 1 WAYPOINT 8, ROUTE 2 WAYPOINT 4 AND ROUTE 3 WAYPOINT 4

  Waypoint 8: The reef. (Map route 1) (Map route 2) (Map route 3) We arrive at what it may be the most important waypoint of the route, the Sistine Chapel or the Sancta sanctorum of Castrojimeno Village. Here we arrive at the reef itself, what corresponds to the facies C and D (already described previously), where we see the sucession of fossils that are substituted eventually, depending on the dynamic conditions, in particular Radiolites Sauvagesi, Hippurites Incisus that are really close which are substituted with clustering of Biradiolites angulosus, Radiolites Sauvagesi and Hippurites incisus. As we have mentioned, this sucession is the reef itself in different zones of the barrier and with small variations generated of storms or the different positions that conform the barrier of the reef. The most interesting parts of this point are not only the fossils, that present a perfect state of conservation, but also the detailed analysis of the suecssion of fossils and the strata t...

RUTA 1 PUNTO 13

  Punto 13: El Cañón de La Hoz  (Plano Ruta 1) Tras cruzar el pequeño arroyo de la hoz, vemos como las dolomías empiezan a formar un gran cañón con acantilados de varias decenas de metros. El origen de esto es sencillo, las dolomías que encontramos son bastante homogéneas, sin intercalaciones de otros tipos de roca (como margas en la formación Hortezuelos ) la presencia de un arroyo con agua todo el año es lo que con el paso del tiempo va disolviendo la roca y generando este cañón.   Sin embargo no es completamente homogénea si no que encontramos niveles más alterado, más nodulosos, asociado a periodos con mayor actividad y bioturbación del sedimento. Estas rocas tan nodulosas son algo más blandas lo que genera pequeñas oquedades y desplomes, haciendo un entorno idóneo para la anidación del buitre Leonado
