Kinematic indicators and mineralization on the Elgoibar faul (Basque-Cantabrian Basin)
The Elgoibar fault is interpreted the western prolongation of the Leitza fault, wich has been usually considered the boundary between Iberia and Europe plates. Based on new structural data from a mineralized fault zone near Elgoibar, sinistral strike-slip faulting and synkinematic hydrothermal miner...

| Sumario: | The Elgoibar fault is interpreted the western prolongation of the Leitza fault, wich has been usually considered the boundary between Iberia and Europe plates. Based on new structural data from a mineralized fault zone near Elgoibar, sinistral strike-slip faulting and synkinematic hydrothermal mineralization are inferred. Although no dating is presently available, several regional suggest a probable Late Albian-Late Cretaceous age, i.e. syn-drift of Iberia, for the tectonic and mineralizing episode |
