Deepwater fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are classified into near-field stress-driven Type 1
systems confined to the sedimentary section, and Type 2 systems deformed by either far …

Abstract The Gulf of Mexico is a small ocean basin lying between the North American plate
and the Yucatan block. Following initiation in the Middle Jurassic, sea-floor spreading …

We present an updated synthesis of the widely accepted 'single-arc Pacific-origin'and
'Yucatán-rotation'models for Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico evolution, respectively. Fourteen …

We present a new hypothesis for the Jurassic plate-tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
basin and discuss how this evolution influenced Jurassic salt tectonics. Four interpretations …

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 …

Cities in the northern Gulf of Mexico, such as Houston, have experienced one of the fastest
rates of subsidence, with groundwater/hydrocarbon withdrawal being considered the …

Existing models of relative motion between the South America and Africa plates significantly
misrepresent the azimuth of Lower Cretaceous seafloor spreading in the South Atlantic …

Any basin with seafloor spreading that forms over an active subduction zone is a backarc
basin (BAB). The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) opened behind the 232–150 Ma Nazas arc over an …

IGCP 449 (2000–2004) amassed data on fluvial systems world-wide, concentrating on key
sequences, especially those benefiting from multiple lines of dating evidence. These …
