This suture zone corresponds to a crustal thrust that accommodated shortening in its footwall block along the cover (Subbetics)-basement (Hercynian crust) detachment. This fact and the absence of a true continental hypercollision, lead to discard the existence of a mid-crustal detachment whose emersion caused the formation of the Spanish Central SystemspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Deep seismic reflection profilesCrustal shorteningIntraplate stress transmissioCentral BeticsSpanish Central Systemjournal articleopen access
