Abstract
Los depósitos siliciclásticos y carbonatados de la Formación Oiartzun (Albiense superior-Cenomaniense inferior) al sureste de Donostia-San Sebastián (margen NE de la Cuenca Vasco-Cantábrica) registran la evolución de la formación de pliegues forzados causados por la tectónica salina coetánea dentro de un contexto de rifting . El análisis de facies indica la localización espacial de distintos ambientes sedimentarios dentro de un sistema deposicional de tipo braidplain delta en un espacio relativamente reducido debido a la evolución y formación de los antiformes de Txoritokieta y Oiartzun. Asimismo, el crecimiento de estos pliegues modifica el relieve deposicional, condicionando notablemente el espesor estratigráfico sobre cada uno de los flancos
The siliciclastic and carbonate deposits of the upper Albian to lower Cenomanian Oiartzun Formation, which crop out to the southeast of Donostia-San Sebastián (NE margin of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin), record the evolution of the coeval growth of salt-influenced forced-folds (anticlines), in an extensional rifting context. Facies analysis indicates the distinct spatial distribution of sedimentary environments in a braidplain delta depositional system over a relatively reduced area, due to the synsedimentary growth of the Txoritokieta and Oiartzun forcedfolds. The growth of these folds conditions the depositional relief and impact not only in the facies distribution but also in stratigraphic thicknesses in the fold limbs
