Orocline timing through joint analysis: Insights from the Ibero-Armorican Arc

► Joint analysis is a tool to unravel oroclines and orocline timing. ► Kinematics constrained by joint-sets indicate that Cantabria-Asturias Arc orocline buckling occurred between 310 and 299 Ma. ► Joint analysis supports the secondary nature of the Ibero-Armorican Arc.
