Abstract
The kinematics of the Eocene episode of compression between the Iberian and European plates is examined. It is proposed that the boundary between the two plates extended west of the Pyrenees, along the Spanish marginal trench to end west of King's trough at a triple point junction. The pole of relative rotation computed within this hypothesis lies near 59°N; 62°W and the resulting shortening along the Pyrenees is about 50 km along 45°E.
