      In this chapter, we summarize the historical investigation of the West Iberian Margin and the current geological knowledge on the features formed during their rift evolution and breakup. We present an overview of their structures and litho-stratigraphy, and the latest ideas for their evolution, highlighting the key remaining questions, how they might be addressed and why answering these questions would represent a paradigm shift in our knowledge of the concepts of development of rifted margins worldwide.
