The Ariño sector of the Aragonese Branch of the Iberian Chain (Oliete basin) shows a set of macrostructures resulting from its tectonic evolution: NNW-SSE, E-W and NW-SE trending folds, and a plurikilometricthrust (Sierra de Arcos thrust) detached on the Upper Triassic evaporites. Mesostrutures include normal faults forming conjugate systems, stylolytic peaks with two main preferred directions and cleavage planes associated with normal and overturned limbs in the Upper Triassic. The analysis of these structures allows to propose two different hypotheses about the tectonic evolution of this sector of the Iberian Chain during the Cenozoic. The first one deals with several compressional episodes with differently oriented stress axis that generated the tectonic structures present in the study arena. The second one is focused in the interpretation of an only N-NNE oriented compression, the different orientation of the structures found resulting from the orientation anisotropy of structural features, resulting from the previous basinal evolution of the area.
