Estructuras extensionales en las Unidades Alpujárrides y Maláguides de la Sierra de la Tercia (Murcia, Béticas Orientales)

Abstract

The Alpujarride and Malaguide units of Sierra de la Tercia had been interpretad as a pile of thrust sheets with southward transport sense. Allthough the study of the contacts between these units has shown that they normaly are low angle normal faults superimposed on the previos thrust stack. These faults have attenuated or omited the thrust sheets in certain areas. Two sets of low angle normal faults with roughly transverse transport sense have been evidenced. Both sets were active during the Middle Miocene
