Resumen:
We present an interpretation of the main Cenozoic geological structures outcropping in the Fiambalá Basin, also known as Bolsón de Fiambalá, Catamarca Province, Argentina. Andean compression deformed the Neogene sedimentary sequences, forming a series of thrusts arranged in a north-south direction with eastward convergence. Based on own field collected data, combined with previous geological studies and satellite images, a balanced structural section was constructed to characterize the deformation of the area. A palinspastic reconstruction was performed, from which a total shortening of 6.13 km was calculated, equivalent to an 18%, for the studied region.
