the Montsec Thrust, and a distinct shelf break was
located above the lateral ramp. The shallow shelf sea
was relatively rapidly fi lled by the axial east to west
prograding Montanyana alluvial to deltaic system,
which restricted tidal amplifi cation. Alluvial fans
fringed the basin margin. During Lower Montanyana
times the depositional shoreline to shelf break distance
was approximately 15 km but only a few km's remained
during Upper Montanyana times when the fl uvial
system almost reached the shelf margin. A relatively
short and steep slope existed westward of the shelf
break (the area of the present-day Ainsa Basin) and the
basin fl oor (the present-day Jaca Basin) was relatively
deep and narrow. These areas were characterised by
turbidite deposition.
