Reviewing the local geological data of Cuba, its structural relations to Hispaniola and
Jamaica as well as a comparison of prevalent plate tectonic models, allow for a refined Late …

The Caribbean is a geologically complex region with several different plate boundary
interactions. Geodynamic reconstructions of the northwestern Caribbean region have been …

Within the last decade, modern petrological and geochronological methods in combination
with detailed studies of the field geology have allowed the reconstruction of tectonic …

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 …

A lithospheric-scale, geodynamic model of the Caribbean southern boundary takes into
account tectonic and stratigraphic elements previously unconsidered or not well …

Structural studies of well‐dated Jurassic to lower Miocene rocks in western Cuba constrain
the sequence of structural events affecting this oblique collisional zone between the late …

Convergence of the North and South American blocks and northeastward movement of the
East Pacific-Caribbean plate during the Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary led to the …

Tectonic interactions in the Caribbean region are driven by two main processes: eastward
motion of the Caribbean plate relative to North and South America, with subduction of …

The Mesozoic rocks of Cuba are a key element in reconstructing the geological history of the
Mesoamerican (Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean) area. Four different Jurassic-Cretaceous …
