Abstract
A dense seismic net-work allows of drawing the western prolongation of the northern boundary of the Iberian plate. This early Cenozoic deformed boundary is disrupted by two prominent NW-SE (transform ?) faults. A kinematic reconstruction, with a NW Late Cretaceous-Lower Eocene motion of the Iberian plate, is proposed. The Azores-Biscay Rise is interpreted as a short-lived subduction zone, whereas King's Trough could be a transform fault.
