“…The post-Paleozoic vertical movements of the SW Iberian Variscides are poorly known mainly due to the scarce low-temperature geochronological data available and the nearly absence of post-Paleozoic sediments. However, those data point to a complicated evolution of the region, with exhumation occurred at Triassic-Early Jurassic times in a rifting episode related to Pangea break-up (Stapel, 1999;Barbero and López-Garrido, 2006;Juez-Larré and Ter Voorde, 2009, and references therein). These ages contrast with the fact that local relief in the Sierra Morena can reach 500 m and streams show V-shaped deep incised valleys, which point to recent tectonic-and exhumation-activity.…”
