There is a long-standing controversy regarding the tectonic evolution of the Caribbean Plate.
Previous research has considered two end-member possibilities. During the Cretaceous, the …

Evolution of the Caribbean Plate can be modeled by motions about six successive rotation
poles. Opening of Cayman Trough has occurred since 49.5 Ma through westward motion of …

Geological research in the Caribbean has achieved much. Stratigraphic characterization of
lithounits is good, although correlation has proved difficult. Because much of the Cretaceous …

The Caribbean area as defined here includes the Greater Antilles, Lesser Antilles, the
northern boundary of South America, and Central America (Fig. 1); it spans approximately …

Geologic and tectonic studies in the Caribbean region have traditionally focused on
Cretaceous and Paleogene arc rocks which, for the most part, record a long period …

A brief summary of the petrotectonic assemblages involved in the Cretaceous to early
Tertiary orogeny of the Caribbean Mountain System is presented in order to delineate those …
