%X Among the Orbitolininae, Palorbitolina lenticularis (Blumenbach) is a common facies marker in Upper Barremian-Lower Aptian shallow water Mesogean deposits and was hitherto ascribed to specific, but contrasting paleoenvironmentswithin the carbonate platform facies suites. The Albacete-Prebetic area (SE Spain) illustrates a model in whichthe Palorbitolina facies spread over the whole platform system. The development of the Palorbitolina sedimentscoincided with a transgressive trend at the end of an important terrigenous period. This model could also be appliedto similar Middle Cretaceous "Orbitolina" facies.
