“…1C). During early-middle Miocene, this important geotectonic feature has been built after a westward migration of the Betic-Rifian Internal Zones and a consequent docking against the MFB and the External Zones of both cordilleras (Iberian and African margins) (Guerrera et al, 2021;Marrone et al, 2021;DeCapoa et al 2007;Abbassi et al, 2021). The Betic-Rifian Internal Zones is a complex nappe pile formed by the stacking of three distinct units: i) Sebtides-Alpujárrides ii) Ghomarides-Maláguides and iii) Frontal Units (Martín-Algarra, 1987;Maaté, 1996;Jabaloy-Sánchez et al, 2019) or "Dorsal" Compex (Chalouan et al, 2008).…”
