Abstract
Let be integers. We give a qualitative structural description of every matroid that is spanned by a frame matroid of a complete graph and has no -minor and no rank- projective geometry minor, showing that every such matroid is `close' to a frame matroid. We also give a similar description of every matroid with a spanning projective geometry over a field GF as a restriction and with no -minor and no PG-minor for any , showing that such an is `close' to a GF-representable matroid.
