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 …

Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Abstract A 200,000-yr interval of extreme global warming marked the start of the Eocene
epoch about 55 million years ago. Negative carbon-and oxygen-isotope excursions in …

A voluminous magmatic complex was emplaced in the Vøring and Møre basins during
Paleocene/Eocene continental rifting and break-up in the NE Atlantic. This intrusive event …

Breakup and sea-floor spreading between Greenland and Eurasia established a series of
new plate boundaries in the North Atlantic region since the Late Palaeocene. A conventional …

The thorough interpretation of the South Atlantic long offset seismic lines provides a new
view of the magmatic and crustal architecture and of the evolution of the conjugate volcanic …

The Norwegian North Atlantic rift system contains not only one of Europe's largest offshore
hydrocarbon provinces, but also one of Europe's most investigated mountain belts, the …

Abstract 2D and 3D seismic data from the mid-Norwegian margin show that polygonal fault
systems are widespread within the fine-grained, Micene sediments of the Kai Formation that …

On the Vøring Margin offshore mid‐Norway, Paleogene continental breakup was
characterized by the extrusion of large volumes of flood basalts erupted in different …

Abstract Ocean-Continent Transition (OCT) located between the edge of the continental and
unequivocal oceanic crusts is an ideal laboratory to understand one of the most fundamental …
