Abstract
The Upper Miocene-Quaternary sedimentary fill of the northern sector of the Teruel Basin is characterized by facies associations corresponding to alluvial fans, lakes and palustrine areas, as well as less common aeolian and deltaic environments. The map of facies associations corresponding to different sedimentary environments, and tectonic structures, reveals asymmetrical fill architecture. Alluvial fans were mainly sourced from the eastern (tectonically active) and western (passive) basin margins, connected downstream with shallow carbonate or evaporite lakes located in central basinal areas but closer to the active margin. The accommodation space created by synsedimentary intrabasinal faults enabled preservation of aeolian and deltaic associations, not very common in this type of basins.
