Abstract
The cast-west trending Pyrenees-Provence thrust belt developed from late Cretaceous to early Tertiary times in response to the north-south convergence of the Iberian and European plates. Post-tectonic sedimentary basins started developing in late Eocene times over the eastern half of the belt in response to the rifting and opening of the Western Mediterranean oceanic basin.
