The Upper Triassic to Lower Cretaceous subsidence history of the Neuquén Basin has been investigated through a forward and reverse basin-modelling technique. Geometry of extension and ?-factor obtained in the backstripped model are not coincident with the forward model, suggesting a complex and asymmetric subsidence pattern. The effect of a flexural load derived from the growth of the Andean magmatic arc during the post-rift stage was added resulting in a more accurate picture of the post-rift stratigraphic evolution of the basin. We suggest that this type of subsidence history could be typical for the Mesozoic Andean marginal basins.
