a Detail of the shallow structure of the Alboran Ridge (see Fig. 6a for location). The seismostratigraphic units are the same as those for the East Alboran Basin (Fig. 4c). vD: volcanic basement at the Djibouti Plateau, vAR: volcanic basement at the Alboran Ridge area. b Same section as Fig. 7a. The different horizons used in the Excess-Area method are shown in green, and the main axial planes of the folds are shown in dark blue. c Excess-Area results. Two results are shown: In blue, the linear regression including the Messinian horizon (labelled as 1); and in brown, the linear regression without including the Messinian horizon.
