sediments; these marine cenozoic depositions were originally defined as Tampico-Misantla<br />

Basin by López-Ramos (1956).<br />

The ongoing uplift of the SMO left very narrow coastal plains and continental shelves,<br />

hence the coastal systems would go from a prodelta to a slope, and where the transport of<br />

sediments by means of turbidity currents prevailed, there would be flow of debris and<br />

landslides, which would produce deposition of submarine fans at the bottom of the<br />

seafloor (basin), overlapping each other and generating submarine erosion during their<br />

development.<br />

By the end of the Cenozoic, deltaic environments prevailed.<br />
