Structural comparison of archetypal Atlantic rifted margins: A review of observations and concepts
G Peron-Pinvidic, G Manatschal… - Marine and petroleum …, 2013 - Elsevier
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 …
