The evolution and development of the Nequén Basin c an be considered in three stages.  
* Stage 1. Late Triassic-Early Jurassic: prior to the onset of subduction on its western margin, this part of Gondwana was characterized by large transcurrent fault systems. This led to extensional tectonics whitin the basin and the evolution of a series of narrow, isolated depocentres (Fig. 2). (Manceda & Figueroa 1995; Vergani et al. 1995; <ref>Franzese, J. R., & L. A. Spalletti, 2001, Late Triassic –early Jurassic continental extension in southwestern Gondwana: tectonic segmentation and pre-break up rifting: Journal of South American Earth Sciences, vol. 4, pp. 257-270.</ref>

* Stage 2. Early Jurassic-Early Cretaceous: development of a steeply dipping, active subduction zone and the associated evolution of a magmatic arc along the western margin of Gondwana led to back-arc subsidence within the Neuquén Basin. This post-rift  stage of basin development locally accounts for more tan 4000 meters of the basin fill (Fig. 2) (Vergani et al. 1995).

* Stage 3. Late Cretaceous-Cenozoic: transition to a shallowly dipping subduction zone resulting in compression and flexural subsidence, asocciated with 45-57 km of cristal shortening (<ref>Introcaso, A., M. C. Pacino, & H. Fraga, 1992. Gravity, isostasy and Andean crustal shortening between latitudes 30° and 35°S: Tectonophysics, 205, pp. 31-48.</ref>; Ramos 1999b) and uplift of the foreland thrust belt (Fig. 2) (Veiga et al. 2005).
