ROUTE 1 WAYPOINT 6 AND ROUTE 3 WAYPOINT 2

 Waypoint 6: First meters of the stratigraphic bar (Map route 1) (Map route 3)

As we take the "La Muela" street and follow our journey to the "Sancta Santorum" we cannot underestimate what we have been watching before, and what we will see now. The eastward orientation of the rock and the local climate has provoqued that this waypoint is especially covered with lichens, moss and grassy plants.

It is for this reason that we have to closely listen to this waypoint, focusing on the bibliography, it stands out an article from 2009 published about Facies. Here we find the Facies A, a chalky rock dominated with calcius "mud" with fragment of fossils.

Lets outline the presence of "Orbitolinas" a genre of foraminiferal species that lived in the Cretaceous seas, the foraminiferal species, as are microscopic organisms they are not visible to the naked eye. These rocks are associated to stormy episodes and times of stability that generate this succession of strata.

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 that

ROUTE 1 WAYPOINT 12

  Waypoint 12: The meeting point rock      Map route 1 As we move on, we continue with the unit of Dolomites of Montejo. Here wwe can see similarities with waypoint 3 but increased in magnitude. If we saw previously eroded ground and diluted by water, here the effect is larger, generating big, well-formed exokarstic structures. It is outstanding the rock just in front of us, the meeting point rock, symbol of Castrojimeno. Here two paths meet (right and left) and that continue in the path we have been following until this point. This structure called "Tor" has remained isolated, even though a few metres away we can find similar structure of smaller size. It represents an isolated block of the large dolomitic unit were we find ourselves. Another curious fact is that if we take notice of the position of the strata, they are slightly tilted, more than the rest, which determines that this is possibly a dumped block or partially rotated.
