Résumé
The Campo section in the Central Southern Pyrenees has long been recognized as an important reference section for early Paleogene biostratigraphy of middle latitude successions. Yet, a comparison of the stratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic schemes so far proposed readily shows that an agreement about these basic aspects is still lacking. In this paper we introduce some refinements on the stratigraphy of the upper Thanetian-middle Ilerdian interval of the Campo section, and discuss the evolution of the area deducted from the new data. Further, we propose a new sequence stratigraphic interpretation of the same key interval. We show that the studied succession is made up of two different types of sequences, some of them induced by relative sea-level changes, the other forced by pulsating tectonism.
