The evolution of the westernmost Mediterranean basins
Based on more than 4,500 km of new and re-processed multichannel seismic lines, high-
resolution seafloor bathymetry, available well data, and basement dredge samples, we have …

Zircon recycling and crystallization during formation of chromite-and Ni-arsenide ores in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (Serranía de Ronda, Spain)
The ultramafic massifs of the Serranía de Ronda (namely Ronda, Ojén and Carratraca) are
portions of Proterozoic (∼ 1.2–1.8 Ga) subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) affected …

Two Cenozoic extensional phases in Mallorca and their bearing on the geodynamic evolution of the western Mediterranean
We study the structure of the Llevant ranges in Mallorca with special emphasis on the
Cenozoic extensional evolution of the island, which we integrate in a new geodynamic …

Exhumation of the Ronda peridotite during hyper‐extension: New structural and thermal constraints from the Nieves Unit (western Betic Cordillera, Spain)
Abstract The Ronda peridotite (Betic Cordillera, Southern Spain) is the largest alpine‐type
peridotite massif worldwide. Yet, the emplacement mechanism of these mantle rocks is still a …

A new structural and kinematic framework for the Alborán Domain (Betic–Rif arc, western Mediterranean orogenic system)
JR Williams, JP Platt - Journal of the Geological Society, 2018 - lyellcollection.org
The processes that drastically thinned and rapidly exhumed the Alborán Domain in southern
Spain are poorly understood. Geological maps, cross-sections and a synthesis of previous …
