“…La deformación que se observa en estos bloques y en muchas partes del noreste de México es compleja debido a despegues sedimentarios sobre secuencias evaporíticas (Formación Minas Viejas), la incorporación local del basamento en la deformación, y por la reactivación de algunas fallas antiguas del basamento como la Falla San Marcos (Padilla y Sánchez, 1986;McKee et al, 1990). Parte de esta falla es abarcada por la malla de datos gravimétricos y magnéticos (Yutsis et al, 2009).…”

ResumenEn este trabajo se presenta el análisis integral de datos gravimétricos y aeromagnéticos en el área de la Cuenca de La Popa y las estructuras geológicas que la rodean. El análisis fue complementado con un Modelo Digital de Elevaciones (MDE) que, combinado con la revisión de estudios geológicos previos, sirvió para comparar las estructuras en superficie y bloques del basamento en el área de estudio. Se hizo la separación de los bloques tectónicos más importantes, llegando por último al desarrollo de dos modelos geológicosgeofísicos 2.5D que representan de manera general las características estructurales más importantes del noreste de México.Palabras clave: anomalía de Bouguer, anomalía magnética, evaporitas jurásicas, modelo geológico-geofísico, noreste de México, AbstractIn this work, the integral analysis of gravity and aeromagnetic data in the La Popa Basin and the adjacent geologic structures is presented. The analysis was complemented with a Digital Model of Elevations that, combined with the review of previous geological studies, served to compare the surface structures and basement blocks in the study area. The most important tectonic blocks were distinguished and finally two 2.5D geological-geophysical models were developed. These models represent in a general way the most important structural characteristics of the northeast of Mexico.

“…Steep, straight faults are commonly expressed as subtle potential-field lineaments, which can be gradient zones, alignments of separate local anomalies of various types and shapes, aligned breaks or discontinuities in the anomaly pattern, and so on [1][2][3][4]. Many large magnetic and gravity anomalies represent the ductile, ancient, healed basement structures, obscuring the desirable subtle features [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…The processed and enhanced anomalies should ideally be easy to relate back to the original anomaly shapes. We kept the data processing to a minimum, avoided ill-described "black-box" techniques, and relied on mathematically simple and intuitive procedures [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Gravity data are sensitive to local vertical offsets across high-angle faults, where rocks with different densities are juxtaposed. Yet high densities in some Mesozoic sedimentary rocks just above the basement may smear out the subtle gravity signatures of basement faults. At this study the gravity data processing tends to avoid ill-described “black-box” techniques. The study area is situated in the Palomas site, Cuatrociénegas region, Coahuila, NE Mexico. The San Marcos Fault is at least 300 km long and has WNW-ESE trend from the central part of Nuevo León State through Coahuila, and finally to the eastern part of Chihuahua State. Gravimetric data shows that the lowest values of free air and Bouguer anomalies are in the southern part of the area, and the highest values are in the western and central part of the area. Between these parts exists a zone of high horizontal gravity gradient. Configuration of linear elements of gravity field (gradient zones) delimited the San Marcos Fault in the San Marcos valley below thickness of recent sedimentary cover. Two density models were carried out, which showed that the Cretaceous rocks are in discordant contact with the Paleo- zoic rocks that can be related to the San Marcos Fault. The density was determinate using to Nettleton’s method, which results highlight the presence of the San Marcos Fault. Density models showed that the Quaternary sediments are in direct contact with the San Marcos Fault

Part of this fault is covered by the gravity and magnetic data (Yutsis et al, 2009). Foreland La Popa Basin is located in front of the Monterrey Silent as part of the Sierra Madre Oriental, a province that represents the structural high.…”
