Abstract
The Candeleros Formation in the base of this group was deposited in late underfilled conditions, showing prominent forebulge zones. It is demonstrated that during the Albian, with the cratonward migration of the uplifting forebulge zones, the axis of backbulge zones also migrated cratonwards and a wide uplifted forebulge zone was formed. On top, the Huincul Formation was deposited in an overfilled period without orogenic load, while the Cerro Lisandro Formation was deposited in early underfilled conditions with orogenic load. The RÃo Neuquén Subgroup started with a late underfilled period (Portezuelo Formation -second-order discontinuity), and after wards the Plottier Formation was deposited in an overfilled period without orogenic load. Finally, the RÃo Colorado Subgroup was deposited under late and early underfilled conditions (Bajo de la Carpa and Anacleto Formations respectively).
