Abstract
Synorogenic basins formed in all lithospheric units involved in the Variscan orogeny, i.e. the Gondwanan and Laurussian continental margins and also in the oceanic realm. However, examples of the latter are only preserved in SW Iberia. On the other hand, synorogenic deposits of the Gondwanan foreland are only preserved in NW Iberia, whereas remains of both continental margins exist in SW Iberia. Record of Variscan synorogenic basins also exists in basement exposures within the Alpine realm that occupies the eastern half of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. These, which are less known and in some cases of uncertain affinities, are described in a separate section.
