Abstract

Although numerous geological and geophysical studies have been conducted in the province of Camagüey, the integration of information to provide geological mapping at a scale of 1:50,000 has still been insufficient. This research demonstrates the contribution of geophysical and geomorphological methods to the geological mapping of the study area. A statistical characterization of the geophysical methods and the most represented geological formations was performed. The main alignments were also identified by combining the potential methods and the available geomorphological information. This, in addition to confirming the faults present on the 1:100,000 map, also allowed for the identification of other contacts. Gamma spectrometry and potential methods also allowed for the delimitation of the best-represented lithological units in the area. On this occasion, it was possible to differentiate the large intrusive bodies, as well as the Camujiro, Piragua, Florida, and Duran formations. Finally, a map with an integrated interpretation is proposed, which undoubtedly supports the geological mapping process in the Vidot sector at a scale of 1:50,000, along with a summary of the main geophysical mapped geological units.
