emphasis on the relationship between Mesozoic magmatism, major phases of continental …

This paper presents an overview of the Cenozoic stratigraphic record in the Sahara, and
shows that the strata display some remarkably similar characteristics across much of the …

Magmatic activity on the African-Arabian margin of Tethys has fluctuated significantly during
