The paper by Gonza ´lez-Acebro ´n et al. ( 2011) deals with both regional and methodological problems about the timing of thermal events in one of the best-known and controversial basins in the Iberian microplate: the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Cameros Basin. The aforementioned paper contains invaluable data about the thermal evolution of the basin, and it is an important contribution to the understanding of the post-sedimentary, pre-inversion processes in this strongly subsiding basin. It will undoubtedly add new evidence to the knowledge of hydrothermal processes in general and particularly to the paleothermal evolution of the basin.However, in our opinion, there are some problems involving important matters within the paper, namely (1) the interpretation of the data obtained, which are too constrained within a univocal line of thinking without considering other simpler and more viable options that in the discussed paper are aprioristically rejected. (2) The second
