%X The tectonic activity in the south-western area of theSpanish Northern Meseta (Ciudad Rodrigo and Duero basins)during most of the Tertiary was determined by u transpressiveregime that reactivated Hercynian to Late-Hercynian faults. Therecord of the Alpine Orogeny is complex because the sedimentaryrecord indicates a compresive regime in the sour e areas coevalwith the extensionall to  transpresive regime indicated by normal orstrike-slip faults. This duality is due 10 the geotectonics position ofthis area between two compressive areas, the Cantabrian Rangeand the Central System, and the extensional Atlantic margin.
