Direct observation and extensive sampling in ancient margins exposed in the Alps,
combined with drill-hole and geophysical data from the present-day Iberia margin, result in …

The stunningly increased resolution of the deep crustal levels in recent industrial seismic
profiles acquired along most of the world's rifted margins leads to the unraveling of an …

The rifting of continents involves faulting (tectonism) and magmatism, which reflect the strain-
rate and temperature dependent processes of solid–state deformation and decompression …

Geological structures are three dimensional, yet are typically represented by, and
interpreted from, outcrop maps and structure contour maps, both of which are curved two …

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 …

Abstract Comparison of Moho geometry and reflection character of active collision zones,
like the Alps, with those of fossil collision zones, like the Appalachians, lends support for the …

Recent seismic results on the US East Coast continental margin show that the zone between
rifted continental and normal oceanic crust consists of thick (up to 25 km), high seismic …

The eastern edge of the Appalachian orogen is composed of a collection of Neoproterozoic–
early Paleozoic domains, Avalonia, Carolinia, Ganderia, Meguma, and Suwannee, which …

We describe and interpret an unpublished set of ION Geophysical seismic reflection profile
showing strong organized seismic reflectors at the base of the continental crust of the …

The ocean‐continent transition (OCT) on nonvolcanic rifted continental margins is important
in that it contains evidence concerning the breakup of the continents and the onset of …
