Abstract The Permian-Triassic rifting represents the first of the two Mesozoic rifting stages
recorded in the Iberian Peninsula. Its first phases of development started during the Early …

Abstract During the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, Iberia experienced extensional and
transtensional stresses leading to a complex rifting time interval. Africa–America–Europe …

The geology of the Iberian Peninsula and its continental shelves is complex and varied
despite its relatively small size. With some 590,000 km2 inland (Iberian Peninsula, the …

During the Tertiary, Iberia was strongly deformed. It was located between the large
EuroAsiatic and African plates, and was displaced east relative to the opening Atlantic …

Late Variscan magmatism in the Iberian Chain (Central Spain) is recorded by the presence
of both pyroclastic units and high-level intrusions (sills and dykes). This magmatism …

Three main stages can be differentiated in Iberia from the Upper Carboniferous to the
Present: the end of the Variscan orogeny (Late Carboniferous), the Permian–Early …

Major changes occurred in Iberia during the Late Cretaceous. First, the cessation of the
previous rifting episode derived into generalized thermal subsidence in all basins, which in …

Abstract The Pyrenean Orogenic system formed by the contractional deformation of the
North Iberian margin from late Santonian to Middle Miocene times as a result of the collision …

The South-Alpine Permian succession consists of continental and also, to the east of the
Adige Valley, marine deposits. The former are made up of volcanic and siliciclastic rocks …

The passage from the Variscan cycle to the Early Alpine framework in the central part of the
Iberian Peninsula can be explained in terms of a transitional process involving four clearly …
