          Abstract

          En las provincias de Neuquén y Río Negro a partir de un estudio sedimentológico de detalle se realizó un análisis estratigráfico secuencial de los depósitos del Cretácico Superior de la Formación Anacleto y miembro inferior de la Formación Alien para el borde nororiental de Cuenca Neuquina. La asociación de las litofacies permitió interpretar elementos arquitecturales de origen fluvial y elementos con influencia de mareas. Tres sistemas fluviales (sistema entrelazado, sistema anastomosado y sistema meándrico), un sistema estuárico proximal y uno medio fueron identificados para La Formación Anacleto. Para el miembro basal de la Formación Alien, se definió un sistema estuárico distal o boca de estuario. En el análisis de estratigrafía secuencial se identificó una secuencia constituida por: un cortejo de baja acomodación, en ambiente continental limitado por una superficie de inundación fluvial (discontinuidad I) y la discontinuidad II; y un cortejo de alta acomodación y su equivalente cortejo transgresivo en ambiente marino, incluyendo este último las discontinuidades III, IV y V.

          Translated abstract

          Based on a detailed sedimentological study we carried out a sequential stratigraphic analysis of the Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Anacleto Formation and lower member of the Alien Formation in the north-eastern border of the Neuquina Basin. The lithofacies association allowed interpre-ting architectural elements of fluvial origin and tide influenced elements. Three fluvial systems (a braided system, an anastomosed one, and a high sinuosity one), a proximal and a middle estuarine system were recognized for the Anacleto Formation. A distal estuarine system or estuary outlet was defined for the basal member of the Alien Formation. In the sequential stratigraphy analysis the following systems were identified: a low accommodation system tract in a continental environment limited by a flooding fluvial surface (discontinuity I) and discontinuity II; and a high accommodation system tract and its equivalent transgressive system tract in a marine environment, with discontinuities III, IV y V.
