The principal paleogeographic characteristics of North and Central Africa during the
Paleozoic were the permanency of large exposed lands over central Africa, surrounded by …

The Berkine and Illizi basins are Palaeozoic–Mesozoic intraplate depressions that preserve
an over 7000m thick sedimentary rock record and contain world-class petroleum systems …

This paper deals with the Middle Triassic-to-earliest Jurassic evaporite sedimentation in the
epicontinental, eastern Iberian platform. This deposition occurred under extensional regime …

The Atlas Mountains are classically regarded as a failed Mesozoic rift arm subject to Alpine
inversion, folding and thrusting. Here, we present new integrated structural and …

Abstract The central High Atlas (Morocco) constitutes a diapiric province that hosts a
complex array of elongated diapirs and minibasins that formed during the Lower Jurassic rift …

The halokinetic structure of inverted salt‐related continental margins is frequently obliterated
by compressional overprinting. The Cretaceous Sopeira and Sant Gervàs subbasins of the …

At the beginning of the Late Triassic, a period of increased precipitation occurred over large
tracts of Central Pangea, the “Carnian Pluvial Event”. It was a short-lived event (> 1 Ma) …

Abstract The Early Jurassic period was characterized by extreme environmental changes, as
reflected by major global carbon isotope anomalies and abrupt changes in oxygen isotope …

This chapter provides a brief overview of the contents and organization of this book. A
detailed chronostratigraphic scale for the Permian and Triassic systems is presented …

We report on a multi-proxy study of the Carnian Pluvial Episode in the continental Argana
Basin (Morocco) based on mineralogy, geochemistry, paleosols and sedimentary features …
