The Mexican orogen is the expression in Mexico of the Cordilleran orogenic system. The
orogen extends the length of Mexico, a distance of 2000 km from the state of Sonora in the …

Abstract The Lower Jurassic–Cenomanian successions of Mexico can be grouped into two
different tectono-stratigraphic systems that were developed under the influence of two …

The Gulf of Mexico Basin is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-producing basins in the
world, with an estimated endowment of 200 billion barrels of oil equivalent. This book …

It is well established that sedimentary margins grow by sediments bypassing through shelf-
and slope-incising canyons onto the basin floor and by sediments being deposited …

Hydrology, source region, and timing of precipitation are important controls on the climate of
the Great Plains of North America and the composition of terrestrial ecosystems. Moisture …

It is generally agreed that a region encompassing the Colorado Plateau has been uplifted by
sub‐crustal processes. Admittance calculations, tomographic studies and receiver function …

ABSTRACT The Late Cretaceous-Paleogene Mexican foreland basin (MFB), defined herein,
represents the southern continuation of the late Mesozoic Cordilleran foreland basin …

We used illite Ar/Ar dating to obtain absolute ages of folds and shear zones formed within
the Mexican Fold–Thrust Belt (MFTB). The methodology takes advantage of illite dating in …

The timing and source of deformation responsible for formation of the Sierra Madre de
Chiapas (south Mexico) are unclear. To address this, apatite fission track and U‐Th‐He …

While several methods have been developed for assessing the magnitude of
postdepositional heating of sedimentary rocks, apatite fission track analysis (AFTA) can also …
