Chemical affinity is tholeiitic shifting from Ol+Hy normative in the first to Q+Hy normative in the second. A K-Ar whole rock age gives 250±5 M. A. (i.e. Upper Permian). Evolution by olivine and minor pyroxene fractionation is proposed. These dykes likely represent an earlier post Hercynian ensialic extensional magmatism which should be taken into a account in any geodynamic model of post Hercynian evolution of the Iberian Peninsula.spajournal articlehttp://www.sociedadgeologica.es/publicaciones_geogaceta.htmlopen access552.3(462.22)Tholeiitic magmatismHercynian beltGeochronology.Petrología
