Abstract
El área de Ariño (Rama Aragonesa de la Cordillera Ibérica, borde
norte de la cuenca de Oliete) muestra un conjunto de macroestructuras
que resultan de la evolución tectónica de la misma: pliegues
con orientación variada (NNO-SSE, E-O y NO-SE), fallas normales
conjugadas, y un cabalgamiento plurikilométrico (cabalgamiento de
la Sierra de Arcos) enraizado en las evaporitas del Triásico superior.
El análisis de estas estructuras permite proponer dos hipótesis acerca
de la evolución tectónica de este sector de la Cordillera Ibérica. La
primera versa sobre la existencia de varios episodios compresivos
de distinta orientación en sus ejes de esfuerzo, que generaron las
estructuras tectónicas presentes en la zona de estudio en el contexto
de la Orogenia Alpina. La segunda se centra en la existencia de un
solo campo de esfuerzos, de orientación N-NNE, y la anisotropía en
la orientación de sus elementos, fruto de la presencia de estructuras
de origen extensional cretácicas relacionadas con fallas de zócalo
The Ariño sector of the Aragonese Branch of the Iberian Chain (Oliete basin) shows a set of macrostructures resulting from its tectonic evolution: NNW-SSE, E-W and NW-SE trending folds, and a plurikilometricthrust (Sierra de Arcos thrust) detached on the Upper Triassic evaporites. Mesostrutures include normal faults forming conjugate systems, stylolytic peaks with two main preferred directions and cleavage planes associated with normal and overturned limbs in the Upper Triassic. The analysis of these structures allows to propose two different hypotheses about the tectonic evolution of this sector of the Iberian Chain during the Cenozoic. The first one deals with several compressional episodes with differently oriented stress axis that generated the tectonic structures present in the study arena. The second one is focused in the interpretation of an only N-NNE oriented compression, the different orientation of the structures found resulting from the orientation anisotropy of structural features, resulting from the previous basinal evolution of the area
