  abstract = {{W}e investigated the variability of the first-order crustal structure and early post-rift stratigraphy of six segments of the {A}frican {E}quatorial {A}tlantic margin using sub-surface data (seismic and wells). {E}xtension obliquity of the segments varies from 0 for the {W}est {I}vory {C}oast and {G}hana transform segments to 30 for the {T}ogo-{B}enin oblique segment and 75 for the {E}ast {I}vory {C}oast normally divergent segment. {T}he {S}ierra {L}eone and {L}iberia segments underwent probably deformation during both the early {J}urassic rifting of the {C}entral {A}tlantic and the early {C}retaceous rifting of the {E}quatorial {A}tlantic with contrasted divergence obliquities. {F}or segments that underwent a single rifting, we show that, the higher the obliquity, the wider the crustal thinning domain. {T}his has a major influence on the first-order geometry of all the post-rift horizons, including the present-day slope: the lower the obliquity, the larger the differential subsidence across the margin and the steeper the present-day slopes of post-rift horizons. {T}his also has a major influence on the flexural isostatic response of the lithosphere to thermal- and erosion/sedimentation- driven (un)loads during the early post-rift. {N}arrow (transform) segments underwent higher flexural (and/or thermal) uplifts in the proximal domain than wider divergent segments. {A}long the same margin, divergent segments therefore may preserve early post-rift deposits in their proximal domains, whereas they are not preserved on nearby transform segments.},
