According to this hypothesis the Southern Range of Haiti extending~ along the Tiburon Peninstfla would be a horst lying between the two branches of a fault system.

Cretaceous pyroclastics and limestones are reported on the northern flank of the Sierra Maestra in Oriente Province. Also...

... between the two great land-masses of the southern range: La Selle and La Hotte. The fact that an earth- quake "transgresses," in the etymological sense of the word, has been seen equally well in the earthquake of 1842, which shook the north of the Grande Hilera of Haiti and the south of the Sierra Maestra...

... and west. In the Sierra Maestra of southern Oriente Province, the sequence of volcanic rocks is estimated to reach a thickness of 6,000 m. Intermediate and acidic intrusives are characteristic—diorites and granodiorites—forming batholiths in Camaguey and northern Oriente ( Nagy, 1973 ), as well as small...

The Sierra del Sur on the south consists, as far as known, of subparallel east-west ranges. Its rocks are Paleozoic and Mesozoic sediments, with Mesozoic...

Although the three La Sierra samples from Las Margaritas show a relatively large range of ages for biotite and K-feldspar, ages for K-feldspar are not systematically lower than those for biotite.
