The Tertiary Almazán Basin was a topographic high during the Mesozoic rifting at the
northern part of the Iberian plate. It was bordered by two Mesozoic basins:(1) the Castilian …

Three crustal-scale sequentially restored cross-sections along the Central External Betic
Cordillera enable us to pinpoint the role of extreme crustal thinning, tectonic inheritance and …

Sequence stratigraphy, subsidence analysis and the integration of the basin fill data allow to
the identification of four successive evolutionary stages in the basins of the eastern Iberian …

The superposition of structures observed in a selected area of the external zones of the Betic
orogen, situated in the westernmost segment of the peri-Mediterranean mountain belt …

The Iberian Chain developed within the Iberian plate during the Palaeogene and Early
Miocene as a result of convergence between the African and Eurasian plates. It is a fold-and …

The Iberian microcontinent stands out because of its intense Alpine intraplate deformation.
This is reflected in a large number of Cenozoic basins of very different sizes. Most of the …

The present-day topography of the Iberian peninsula can be considered as the result of the
Mesozoic–Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Iberian plate (including rifting and basin …

The Maestrat basin was one of the most subsident basins of the Mesozoic Iberian Rift
system, developed by a normal fault system which divided it into sub-basins. Its Cenozoic …

From a geologic point of view, the Iberian Chain (Figs. 1; 2) includes all the contractional
structures generated during the inversion of the Iberian Mesozoic basins. These structures …

The North Iberian or Cantabrian margin, located at the southern flank of the Bay of Biscay,
underwent successive tectonic regimes of rifting, passive margin, and compression from …
