In the Valverde del Camino area, detailed mapping and structural analysis show the existence of a fault-propagation antiform related to an imbricate fan with SSW sense of movement. The thrusts of this imbricate fan merge at depth with a detachment located in the middle crust. The total displacement produced by the imbricate fan is very scarce, most of the shortening being probably accommodated by folding and cleavage developmentspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Thrust systemImbricate fanInclined foldsSouth Portuguese Zonejournal articleopen access
