Both, the main NW-SE trending of the basin, its asymetrical geometry and the location of the depocenters was controlled by the reactivation of NW-SE and NE-SW Late Variscan faults, and the formation of new faults. We propose that the general geometry of the basin is controlled by a flexion in the cover, with some associated minor normal faults. The southwestern margin of thé basin was probably related to the reactivation of a Late Variscan fracture as NW-SE northeasthern-dipping normal fault in the basement. The internal structuration is controlled by NE-SW southeasthern-dipping normal faultsspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Late Variscan fracturingReactivationNormal faultsTectonic controlEarly CretaceousOliete Subbasinjournal articleopen access
