Figure 4. Structural map of the Alboran Basin and surrounding areas showing early Miocene to Holocene structures and main sedimentary depocenters (based on MCS, commercial well data, and Leg 161 results). Measurable directions of middle Miocene extension are indicated by black arrows. Positions of DSDP 121 and ODP Leg 161 sites are shown. Note the onshore Neogene Basins (including Miocene and/or Pliocene marine sediments) cropping out in Spain or Morocco. Main sedimentary depocenters in the Alboran Sea are shown: 1 = Depocenters comprising lower Miocene to Pleistocene deposits; 2 = Depocenters consisting of middle Miocene to Pleistocene deposits; 3 = Depocenters comprising Messinian/Pliocene to Pleistocene deposits. A = Almeria Basin; AR = Alboran Ridge; AT = Alboran Trough; CF = Carboneras Fault; DB = Djibouti bank; EAB = East Alboran Basin; GB = Granada Basin; GH = Guadalhorce Basin; GX = Guadix Basin; JB = Jebha Fault; JM = Jehbel-Mussa Fault; MG = Málaga Graben; MR = Maimonides ridge; MS = Al-Mansour Seamount; PF = Palomares Fault; R = Ronda Basin; S = Sorbas Basin; SAB = South Alboran Basin; V = Vera Basin; YB = Yusuf Basin; YF = Yussuf Fault; WAB = West Alboran Basin. Commercial wells as in Figure 2.
