Middle Jurassic normal faulting, high heat flow and basin uplift caused doming.
Increment in the normal faults displacement during Jurassic-Cretaceous.
Cenozoic contraction led to buttressing, fault reactivation and new folds and thrusts.
The Middle Jurassic event could be a precursor of the Bay of Biscay opening.
The Cenozoic event caused Cantabrian ranges uplift and Bay of Biscay partial closure.
