Hie mapping and stratigraphie study of the Ordovician rocks in Los Barrios de Luna area (southern limb of Abelgas-Alba Syncline), allowed us to recognize a complex stratigraphy, conditioned by a synsedimentary tectonics, probably related to the intense volcanism observed further east. The stratigraphy of the Barrios Fm., mostly Middle to Late Cambrian age, is reviewed. An informal stratigraphie unit (El Ventorrillo beds), of Early?, Middle to Late Ordovician age, is renamed. Two Upper Ordovician-basal Silurian? formations are formally defined (La Devesa Limestone and La Serrona Quartzite), and the stratigraphy of the Silurian informal unit Getino beds is refined. The ferruginous crusts at the base of El Ventorrillo beds and Getino beds are interpreted as a result of alteration of volcanic materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
