Post-paleozoic tectonics of northeast mexico and its role in the evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Se muestra la evolución sedimentaria mesozoica del noreste de México a través de varios mapas paleogeográficos regionales. También, con base en diferentes estilos de plegamiento, se propone un modelo alternativo para la deformación del Terciario Temprano del noreste de México, así como una serie de paleorreconstrucciones de tectónica de placas, basados principalmente en la existencia de varias fallas sinistrales de transcurrencia, orientadas al noroeste y una falla dextral transcurrente (Falla Tamaulipas-Oaxaca) orientada al nor-noroeste, a lo largo de la cual el bloque de Yucatán se movió hacia el Sur (Jurásico Tardío) desde su antigua posición en el sitio que hoy ocupa el Golfo de México.
