The Guadalquivir foreland basin has a complex temporal and spatial evolution which is shown in its facies
architecture and its paleogeographical distribution during Tortonian. In this work we emphasize the control
that exerted paleorelief on sedimentation (volume, location and type) and distribution of sedimentary
environments in the Tortonian transgression. Four types of paleotopographic configurations have been
differenced in the Paleozoic substrate, which are related to the different deposits deposited on the passive
margin of the basin during sea-level fluctuation
