The Mauléon basin is a world‐class example of hyperextended rift suture. The basin
possesses key attributes of an optimal hydrogen target, namely mantle, at shallow depth …

The Pyrenean domain records the development of a hyperextended system during the Early
Cretaceous at Iberia/Eurasia plate-boundary. This rifting stage is controlled by the coeval …

Abstract The Cretaceous North Pyrenean hyperextended rift system recorded HT‐LP
metamorphism in the pre‐and syn‐rift sedimentary cover during lithospheric mantle …

The Pyrenees are the result of the structural inversion of a rift of general direction N110E,
established at the articulation of the European and Iberian plates. This rift was created by left …

The Trimouns talc-chlorite deposit (Figure 7.1) is located in the heart of a North Pyrenean
Massif (NPM), the Montagne de Tabe (MdT), often called the Saint-Barthélémy massif, which …

The theory of plate tectonics, established in the late 1960s, is one of the last major
revolutions in the Earth Sciences. Although this chapter does not directly address the …

The Pyrenees have long been overshadowed by the enthusiasm of research on the Alps;
nevertheless, they are a first-class natural laboratory that can help us to better understand …

In the Pyrenean range, north of the axial primary zone, a long continuous zone of
sedimentary terrain of Mesozoic and Paleozoic age extends, forming the North Pyrenean …

Summary This chapter places Pyrenees‐Basque‐Cantabrian system in a regional kinematic
evolution, since the end of the Paleozoic. After presenting the geological context and the …
