The Tell-Rif (Tell in Algeria and Tunisia; Rif in Morocco) is the orogenic system fringing to
the south the West Mediterranean basins. This system comprises three major tectonic …

The internal= northern zones of the Maghrebide belt includes allochthonous massifs that
define, together with those from the Betics, Sicily and Calabria, a disrupted …

In the western Mediterranean area, after a long period (late Paleogene-Neogene) of Nubian
(W-Africa) northward subduction beneath Eurasia, subduction has almost ceased, as well as …

Slab tearing induces localized deformations in the overriding plates of subduction zones
and transfer zones accommodating differential retreat in back-arc regions. Because the …

We present a new tectonic map focused upon the extensional style accompanying the
formation of the Tyrrhenian back‐arc basin. Our basin‐wide analysis synthetizes the …

We determine the deep structure of the eastern Algerian basin and its southern margin in the
Annaba region (easternmost Algeria), to better constrain the plate kinematic reconstruction …

A study of the present compressional deformation of the Northwestern (Maghreb) Nubia
(Africa) margin is derived from the analysis of more than 20,000 km of seismic profiles. In the …

In spite of clear fan‐shaped magnetic anomalies in the Eastern Algero‐Balearic Basin
(EABB), the way how and the time when seafloor spreading occurred are still debated. In …

Abstract The Numidian and Post-Numidian stratigraphy of the Tunisian Tell has been
updated based on 16 stratigraphic sections belonging to the Massylian sub-domain of the …

The European and Corsica–Sardinia margins of the Ligurian Sea (western Mediterranean)
have been affected by a geochemically diverse igneous activity, offshore and onshore, since …
