“…We infer the presence of Jurassic red beds under the carbonates of the Zimapán Basin from borehole records to the south of the area (Eguiluz et al, 2000). It is also likely that Permian-Triassic volcaniclastic rocks underlie the rocks of the Zimapán Basin and El Doctor Platform, based on the fi eld observations by Rosales-Lagarde et al (2005) to the south of the studied area. According to these authors, these units were involved in the deformation.…”

“…Ochoa-Camarillo (1996) propone el nombre de Formación Tuzancoa para este equivalente de la Formación Guacamaya y sugiere que no obstante de algunas diferencias litológicas entre las formaciones Guacamaya y Tuzancoa, se pueden correlacionar. Posteriormente, fue redefinida como Formación Tuzancoa por Rosales-Lagarde et al (2005) y aflora en tres regiones a lo largo de la margen este-central del Golfo de México: en el Cañón de La Peregrina, al NW de Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, en la región de Molango, en el estado de Hidalgo y entre los estados de Veracruz y Puebla. Campa y Coney (1983) y Rosales- Lagarde et al (1997) incluyen esta formación dentro del Terreno Sierra Madre.…”

“…En el río Chinameca, la Formación Tuzancoa está conformada por más de 2000 m de lutita de color negro, en capas de espesor delgado a medio, que alternan con estratos delgados, medianos y gruesos de arenisca de grano medio y grueso a conglomerático. Con frecuencia la arenisca contiene fusulínidos y crinoides, ésta intemperiza a color gris verdoso o café ligeramente rojizo, alternando ocasionalmente con bancos gruesos de conglomerados que contienen abundantes fragmentos de caliza con fusulínidos y crinoides (Ochoa-Camarillo, 1996, 1997; Arellano et al, 1998;Rosales-Lagarde et al, 2005). …”

“…Se infiere que la gran cantidad de nutrientes determinaba la abundancia y diversidad de la mayoría de las especies (Moore, 1938;Meyer, 1971;Meyer y Macurda, 1974;Menn, 1994). Los crinoides procedentes de la región de Pemuxco probablemente vivieron en un ambiente batial de facies flysch, que corresponden a un depósito rítmico presente en la Formación Tuzancoa y que sugiere agua relativamente poco profunda, en un ambiente geotectónico inestable, con el aporte de sedimentos acarreados por corrientes de turbidez que erosionaron y seleccionaron los clastos, posiblemente provenientes de la plataforma continental, generando lo que tiempo más tarde al consolidarse sería la alternancia de flysch y secuencias Bouma (Vachard et al, 1997;Arellano et al, 1998;Rosales-Lagarde et al, 2005). Es importante hacer mención de que en este periodo ocurre la Revolución Apalachiana, Maratón Ouachita y Huastecana, que propició la elevación continental y orogenia en Norte América y Centroamérica.…”

Shortening in the Sierra Madre Oriental fold-thrust belt (east central Mexico) is localized along the margins of Cretaceous carbonate platforms and controlled by mechanical stratigraphy. The platform margins are deformed by imbricate series of thrust ramps, whereas the coeval basins and platform interiors are deformed by map-scale detachment folds. Here we present a finite element model to evaluate the influence of the boundary geometry and boundary conditions on the style of deformation observed at these basinward progradational platform margins. We calculate the stress distribution in a linearly elastic platform-basin transition zone under the action of horizontal tectonic stress, taking into account changes of rock mechanical properties across the platform margin, as well as their dependence on direction, and infer the resulting fracture patterns based on the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. Stress concentrations are predicted at the contacts between the massive rocks of the platform margin and the well-layered rocks of both, the platform interior and the adjacent basin. Brittle failure of the platform border can be mostly attributed to three effects: mechanical coupling between the carbonate platform and a substratum of moderate to low viscosity, variations in layering and texture that governed the mechanical properties of the involved carbonates as well as their dependence on direction, and the development of sharp domain boundary corners associated with progradational facies changes. In contrast, the dip of the basement and a possible taper of the overlying Upper Cretaceous shale toward the basin appear to have little influence on the mechanical failure of the platform margin.
