In this study we compare three pairs of conjugate rifted margins that are often referred to as
archetypes of rift systems. Despite numerous differences, a remarkable first-order structural …

Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …

Seismic reflection data imaging conjugate crustal sections at the South China Sea margins
result in a conceptual model for rift-evolution at conjugate magma-poor margins in time and …

Abstract The Norwegian Margin formed in response to early Cenozoic continental breakup
and subsequent opening of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. There is a well-defined margin …

A voluminous magmatic complex was emplaced in the Vøring and Møre basins during
Paleocene/Eocene continental rifting and break-up in the NE Atlantic. This intrusive event …

In the preceding chapters we have included only a few regional examples and case studies
because of space limitations. The present chapter will, however, provide some examples …

Breakup and sea-floor spreading between Greenland and Eurasia established a series of
new plate boundaries in the North Atlantic region since the Late Palaeocene. A conventional …

On the Vøring Margin offshore mid‐Norway, Paleogene continental breakup was
characterized by the extrusion of large volumes of flood basalts erupted in different …

Abstract The Norwegian-Greenland Sea (NGS) in the NE Atlantic comprises diverse tectonic
regimes and structural features including sub-oceanic basins of different ages …

Eocene magmatic breakup along the mid‐Norway rifted margin was preceded by extreme
Jurassic‐Cretaceous crustal thinning in a magma‐poor environment. Along the SE borders …
