Paleontology and Stratigraphy of Fossils

Three litoestratigraphic unites have been identified in the Sao Martinho do Porto sea cliffs, which correspond with three deltaic cycles. The paleocurrents analysis show that for the first two cycles, the sediments come from the Berlengas Massif situated in the SW; while the third come from the NE, controlled by the diapiric relief of the Caldas da Rainha
