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 …

Plate kinematic reconstructions available for the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous eastward
drift and counterclockwise rotation of the Iberian plate imply a major left-lateral motion of …

A Bacia Lusitaniana1 é uma bacia sedimentar que se desenvolveu na Margem Ocidental
Ibérica (MOI2) durante parte do Mesozóico, e a sua dinâmica enquadra-se no contexto da …

Many recent papers describe the structure of the Iberia and Newfoundland rifted margins;
however, none of them propose kinematic restorations of the complete rift system to quantify …

Passive‐margin salt basins are classified as prerift, syn‐stretching, syn‐thinning, and syn‐
exhumation. Prerift salt, such as the Triassic Keuper in the Western Pyrenees, undergoes …

The discovery of hyperthinned continental crust and exhumed mantle on present-day deep-
water rifted margins leads to two fundamental questions:(1) in detail, how does the crust thin …

The Portuguese mainland, located in western Iberia, represents a key area for
understanding the evolution of the European Atlantic margin during the Cenozoic and the …

Regional (2D) seismic-reflection profiles and borehole data are used to characterise the syn-
to post-rift transition in the shallow offshore Porto Basin, and in deep-offshore regions of …

Although it is generally accepted that many distal, magma-poor rifted margins are
asymmetric and can be divided into lower and upper plate margins, little is known about the …

The tectonosedimentary development of the South Atlantic is compared with the Central
Atlantic margins, which are associated with major episodes of magmatism during the …
