AB The Penyagolosa sub-basin is located in the south-eastern margin of Maestrat basin. Its structure ischaracterized by a system of listric faults NE-SW to ENE-WSW. These faults record two well differentiatedperiods of rifting: 1) Triassic-Jurassic initial 2) Late Jurassic-early Cretaceous, which are related to theopening of the Maestrat basin. The synrift succession of the Lower Cretaceous is formed by a carbonaticsequence of facies of more than 1300 m in thickness, Early Barremian to Albian in age, which includesnine cartographic units (from Kw to K5 and unit D). The postrif t succession is constituted by two cartographicunits (FU and K5). The Lower Cretaceous synrif t succession in the Penyagolosa sub-basin, does not presentsignificant differences with the other areas of the Maestrat basin. Never theless, the Benassal Fm (cartographicunits K3m, K3s and K4) is much thicker than in depocenter of the basin. This significant increase in theaccommodation space is produced by the sin-sedimentary activity of the Benicàssim fault (F.B). Featuresthe Benicàssim fault was reactivated later during the Neogene extension, it still conser ves clear characteristicsof their early Cretaceous activity, such as the disposition of layers in fans of the Benassal Fm and thedepositional polarity of the involved carbonate facies
