SUMMARY: The Rio Maior basin is a NNW-SSE elongated tectonic basin, controlled by main faults with the same orientation. The basin was filled with sediments during the Pliocene, over Miocene deposits. Borehole data show a depocenter located near its eastern margin with the Pliocene sediments forming a dissymmetrical synform controlled by the NNW-SSE Cidral border fault. The sedimentation culminates in Pleistoce...
