Abstract
The San Pedro Basin (SPB) consists of an E-W bathymetric depression with an extension of 6000 km2, located in the south-eastern margin of Hispaniola Island (Dominican Republic and Haiti). Structurally, the SPB is situated at the rear zone of the Muertos Thrust Belt (MTB). The basin has been dated as middle Miocene in the bibliography, with the infill deposited in the configuration space generated by the progressive deformation of the MTB. Nevertheless, the integration of the new systematic geological mapping (SYSMIN I&II Programs) with geophysical data (reflection seismic, well logs and potential fields) led us to propose a new evolution model of the basin from the start of sedimentation in Upper Cretaceous in a retro-arc context to the inversion of the basin in middle Eocene and the later evolution of the SPB-MTB system until present, establishing the correlation between main sequences with outcrops and well data.
