Resumen de Extensión versus compresión durante el Mioceno superior en la Cuenca de Lorca (Béticas orientales).
Guillermo Booth Rea, José Miguel Azañón Hernández
Structural and paleostress analysis of the Tortonian sedimentary caver of the Lorca basin (eastern Betics), shows the existence of alternating extensional and convergent tectonics during this periodo With ENE/WSW-oriented Tortonian folds being cut and tilted by upper Tortonian normal faults with NW/SE to SW/NE tectonic transport, which define a paleostress tensor indicative of radial-extension. These faults were later folded during further uppermost-Tortonian to Messinian convergence.
