Top: Schematic illustration of the relative position of the subduction zones in the Western Mediterranean since the Oligo-Miocene, assuming (a) N-S
extension or (b) E-W extension in the Algerian basin (from van Hinsbergen et al. 2014). (c) Schematic illustration of the three different reconstruction scenarios
shown in the paleogeography at ~35 Ma (from Chertova et al. 2014)
