  abstract = {{M}ountain building in the {A}l-{H}ajar {M}ountains ({NE} {O}man) occurred during two major shortening stages, related to the convergence between {A}frica-{A}rabia and {E}urasia, separated by nearly 30 {M}a of tectonic quiescence. {M}ost of the shortening was accommodated during the {L}ate {C}retaceous, when northward subduction of the {N}eo-{T}ethys {O}cean was followed by the ophiolites obduction on top of the former {M}esozoic margin. {T}his shortening event lasted until the latest {S}antonian - early {C}ampanian. {M}aastrichtian to {E}ocene carbonates unconformably overlie the eroded nappes and seal the {C}retaceous foredeep. {T}hese neo-autochthonous post-nappe sedimentary rocks were deformed, along with the underlying {C}retaceous tectonic pile, during the second shortening event, itself including two main exhumation stages. {I}n this study we combine remotely sensed structural data, seismic interpretation, field-based structural investigations and apatite ({U}-{T}h)/{H}e ({AH}e) cooling ages to obtain new insights into the {C}enozoic deformation stage. {S}eismic interpretation indicates the occurrence of a late {E}ocene flexural basin, later deformed by an {O}ligocene thrusting event, during which the post-nappe succession and the underlying {C}retaceous nappes of the internal foredeep were uplifted. {T}his stage was followed by folding of the post-nappe succession during the {M}iocene. {AH}e data from detrital siliciclastic deposits in the frontal area of the mountain chain provide cooling ages spanning from 17.3 to 42 {M}a, consistent with available data for the structural culminations of {O}man. {O}ur work points out how renewal of flexural subsidence in the foredeep and uplift of the mountain belt were coeval processes, followed by layer-parallel shortening preceding final fold amplification.},
