Resumen

Amphibolite bodies with eclogite relics are found interlayered between tne Ojen nappe´s crustal rocks, below the Ronda peridotites of the Betic Cordilleras (southern Spain). We present a geochemical study of such amphibolites and retrogressed eclogites, from which it is possible to deduce a gabbroic origin for their protoliths. We propose thet their intrusion in the continental crust took place in a rift setting of Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous age. The recognition of this rifting event in the Alpujarride Complex places an additional constrait for Mesozoic reconstructions of the Westren Mediterranean.
