Abstract

Cañamares river is located in the eastern Ciudad Real province (La Mancha region), within the Upper Guadiana catchment. The region is characterized by the abundance of karstic environments. The geological setting consists of Mesozoic limestones and dolomites, resting on Keuper facies, which allowed the development of karstic systems. A small stream called Cañada de Pozo Hondo flows to the north bank of the Cañamares river. The small catchment of the Cañada de Pozo Hondo stream is the target of this work, as it hosts a karstic cavity: La Cueva de Los Toriles, a site with archeological and paleontological interest. The preliminary study carried out in the cave and the surrounding area, yielded the discovery of 20 travertine and possibly silty lacustrine sediment outcrops housed in the dolomite’s cavities. These deposits suggest the presence of one or various paleolakes, similar to the current Ruidera lakes. In the present work, a preliminary geomorphological map of the travertine deposits is presented. In addition, the possibility of the presence and relation of different paleolake events in the region is being studied. For this purpose, geographical coordinates of the outcrops have been projected in a GIS. With the obtained data, the superficial extension and the altitudinal distribution of the geomorphological features has been defined. The potential paleolake outcrops appear assembled in three different elevations.
