Abstract
En este trabajo se aborda el estudio estructural del sector occidental de
la lámina de las Sierras Marginales (Unidad Surpirenaica Central, Zona Surpirenaica).
Se ha elaborado un mapa de contornos estructurales a partir de
una cartografía de detalle y cortes seriados compensados. Se definen dos
dominios: uno con estructuras de vergencia norte en el norte y otro con estructuras
de vergencia sur en el sur. Las estructuras y la cobertera sedimentaria
están atravesadas localmente por estructuras diapíricas. La relación
entre la serie de cobertera y los materiales sintectónicos del Oligoceno-Mioceno
permite proponer una cronología relativa de las estructuras, que engloba
formación de cabalgamientos, retrocabalgamientos, cabalgamientos
fuera de secuencia, desactivación y reactivación de estructuras, fallas de desgarre y diapirismo
In this work we address the study of the geological structure of the area located at the western end of the Sierras Marginales thrust sheet (South Pyrenean Central Unit, South Pyrenean Zone). A structural contour map, based on detailed geological mapping and seriated, balanced cross sections has been built. Two main domains (northern and southern), with different vergence of structures (North and South, respectively) can be recognized. Locally, diapiric structures pierce the Mesozoic-Tertiary cover. The relation between syntectonic Oligocene-Miocene deposits and the rest of the sedimentary cover allow establishing a relative timing of the emplacement of structures, which include thrusts, backthrusts, out-of-sequence thrusts, strikeslip faults and diapirs
