The model allows for depth-dependent lithospheric extension and lateral accommodation of extension. The best fitting model of the geophysical observations is obtained by assuming a phase of synrift evolution lasting 15 Ma, with maximum lithospheric thinning in the trough duringd the Early Miocene (25-15 Ma) and reduced extension during the Serravallian (15-10 Ma). The lower crust and lithospheric mantle would be stretched by a higher amount than the upper crust The evolution of the Balearic Promontory would be characterised by a first stage o f crustal thickening during the Lower Miocene and a second stage of thinning related to the opening of the Algerian Basin during the Serravallian}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, title = {Modelización numérica de la evolución geodinámica del surco de Valencia}, title = {Numerical modelling of the geodynamic evolution of the Valencia trough}, author = {Negredo, A.
