  abstract = {{O}ff northwest {L}ibya the {C}yrenaica foreland basin domain and its {P}an-{A}frican continental crust, which constitute the {A}frican promontory, are overthrusted by the {M}editerranean {R}idge {C}omplex. {T}he thrust belt contact and its seismic stratigraphy have been analysed using pre-stack depth-migrated multichannel seismic ({MCS}) lines recorded during the {MEDISIS} survey (2002). {T}he geometry and sedimentary distribution analysis through the wedge-top depocentres allow reconstruction of schematic cross-sections of the tectono-sedimentary wedge that includes two major thrust sequences separated by an apparently poorly deformed transition zone. {B}ased on time-space variation of several piggyback basins, we propose that these thrust sequences relate to distinct phases of shortening. (1) {A} first event, which probably occurred just prior to the {M}essinian crisis in latest {M}iocene ({T}ortonian times?) and (2) {A} second event, that has finally led to the present-day overthrusting of the {M}editerranean {R}idge over the {L}ibyan continental slope.},
