Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …

During evolution of the South Sandwich subduction zone, which has consumed South
American Plate oceanic lithosphere, somehow continental crust of both the South American …

Abstract The separation of South America from Africa during the Cretaceous is poorly
understood due to the long period of stable polarity of the geomagnetic field, the Cretaceous …

The initial opening of the Africa-Antarctica Corridor, in the heart of Gondwana, is still
enigmatic due to missing information on the origin of major crustal features and the exact …

Abstract The Borborema and Benin–Nigeria Provinces are composed of a complex network
of Neoproterozoic mobile belts, and large-scale shear zones. The evolution of the South …

The thorough interpretation of the South Atlantic long offset seismic lines provides a new
view of the magmatic and crustal architecture and of the evolution of the conjugate volcanic …

A novel geodynamic evolution model of the southwestern region of Gondwana from the late
Triassic to the middle Jurassic period is proposed in this contribution, based on new data …

We present early Cretaceous to present paleobathymetric reconstructions and quantitative
uncertainty estimates for the South Atlantic, offering a strong basis for studies of …

Atlantic‐type continental margins have long been considered “passive” tectonic settings
throughout the entire postrift phase. Recent studies question the long‐term stability of these …

Abstract The track of South Atlantic hotspots on oceanic crust is well known. However, the
possible hotspot trails of Tristan-Gough (TG) and St. Helena (SH) plume heads on …
