Plate kinematic reconstructions available for the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous eastward
drift and counterclockwise rotation of the Iberian plate imply a major left-lateral motion of …

The tectono‐stratigraphic evolution of rift systems is at present poorly understood, especially
the one preceding the onset of oceanic seafloor spreading. Improving our understanding of …

Abstract The Orphan Basin, located offshore northeastern Newfoundland, Eastern Canada,
is a Mesozoic rift basin formed during the disintegration of Pangaea and the concurrent …

In this study, we present an interpretation of a 3D depth-migrated dataset imaging the Ocean
Continent-Transition (OCT) of the southern Gabon margin. Located in an area where salt is …

Conceptual models of magma-poor rifting are strongly based on studies of the nature of the
basement in the continent-to-ocean transition of the Iberia Abyssal Plain, and suggest that …

Rift systems in the central South Atlantic and the southern Northern Atlantic margins exhibit
anomalous wide ocean-continent transitions, extreme thinning of the continental crust, and …

Plate kinematic models of the Pyrenees have been extensively debated due to
discrepancies between plate kinematic constraints for the Iberian plate and Atlantic/Tethyan …

Deformable plate tectonic models have been demonstrated to be a useful technique for
quantifying temporal variations in strain rate and crustal thickness within recent plate …

Despite considerable progress in restoring rifted margins, none of the current kinematic
models can restore the Mesozoic motion of the Iberian block in full agreement with the …

The plate kinematics of the Iberian plate and their implications on the plate tectonic evolution
of the Bay of Biscay during rifting and subsequent opening of the southern North Atlantic …
