Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Lithospheric extension plays a pivotal role in governing the evolution of continents and the
birth of oceanic basins on Earth. Despite this, quantifying wide-mode lithospheric extension …

We present an updated oceanic crustal age grid and a set of complementary grids including
spreading rate, asymmetry, direction, and obliquity. Our data set is based on a selected set …

Abstract The Bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees correspond to a Lower Cretaceous rift system
including both oceanic and hyperextended rift domains. The transition from preserved …

Magma-poor rifted margins consistently show extreme crustal thinning accompanied by
normal faulting, the serpentinization of the mantle beneath crust thinned to less than 8±2 km …

Seismic reflection and refraction profiles, and potential field data, complemented by crustal‐
scale gravity modeling and plate reconstructions are used to study the evolution of the …

Abstract The Neo-Tethys margin evolution is preserved in the Northern Calcareous Alps
(Eastern Alps), from Late Permian crustal stretching to Late Triassic oceanization. The …

Cretaceous aged salt and salt-free basins along the continental margins of Brazil and
Angola/Namibia exhibit a rather heterogeneous geometry and basin fill which implies a …

Continental rifting is responsible for the generation of major sedimentary basins, both during
rift inception and during the formation of rifted continental margins. Geophysical and field …

Abstract Interpretation of long‐offset 2D depth‐imaged seismic data suggests that outer
continental margins collapse and tilt basinward rapidly as rifting yields to seafloor spreading …
