Zusammenfassung

The main Alpine structures in the SE border of the Spanish Central System (Tamajón zone), have been found to be two thrust faults with N70°E trend, and transport direction towards SE, associated with secondary backthrusts and transfer faults. The tectonic transport direction fits well the shortening direction of the "Guadarrama" stage of compression (N150°E). The effects of thrusting in the Mesozoic cover is the development of assimetric folds. The ammount of shortening in this zone, deduced from cross-section balancing, is about 17-19%.
