Lindero de Piedra oil block,from northeastern Neuquén basin, is located 15 km NE of Malargüe city in Mendoza Province. In this sector of theMendoza platform, very young mineralized anticlineswere studied through interpretation of 3D seismic data (2017), and an analysis of their kinematic evolution was performed. Within the study region, three stages of folds generation are observed, each one presenting a north-south orientation, and an in-sequence evolution towards the east. The fold generation is interpreted to be a consequence of inversionof normal faults during Plio-Pleistocene (Holocene?)compressional phases. We discard the influence of dikes intrusion in Mio-Pliocene times as deformational drivers, since seismic data show that those igneous bodies are deformed by inversion tectonics.These Pliocene-Pleistocenetraps can be considered the youngest formed in the basin. The late formation of these structures can be linked to a late advance of the Andean orogenic front, thatwas propitious for hydrocarbons entrapment due to coeval maturation and late expulsion of hydrocarbons in southern Mendoza. Likewise, rupture of Pliocene structures during the Pleistocene-Holocene?and the incipient traps generation at more eastward positions are observed. Accordingly, we propose the existence of an Andeancompressional phase, younger than previously considered,that could have lasted up to Holocene times
