Abstract Continental breakup involves multiple extension styles; each linked to unique structural and sedimentary processes. High‐angle, low‐angle, listric and antilistric normal faults develop at different stages and positions during rifting. The Bay of Biscay and its margins, a prototypical example of magma‐poor rifted margins during Jurassic ...

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent
ABSTRACT The fragmentary release of petroleum data defining the deep structure and stratigraphy of African basins has been integrated with existing literature to compile 19 tectonic maps over key geological intervals from Permian to Recent times. African plate margins range in their age of opening from Late Triassic (off Lebanon), through Early/Middle ...

Petroleum geology of the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous of East and North-East Greenland: Blokelv-1 borehole, Jameson Land Basin: Biostratigraphy of the Hareelv Formation (Upper Jurassic) in the Blokelv-1 core, Jameson Land, central East Greenland [PDF]
The Hareelv Formation in the Blokelv-1 core is biostratigraphically subdivided by means of ammonite and dinoflagellate cyst stratigraphy. The succession ranges from the Oxfordian C. densiplicatum Chronozone to the Volgian P. elegans Chronozone.

Middle–Upper Jurassic palynology of the South Sallum well, North Western Desert, Egypt
Palynological analyses have been carried out on some samples of Middle–Upper Jurassic from the South Sallum well, North Western Desert, Egypt. A refinement of the original chronostratigraphy has been suggested and the stages of Bathonian – Callovian and ...

A mechanism for brief glacial episodes in the Mesozoic greenhouse [PDF]
International audienceThe Mesozoic, perhaps the longest period of warmth during the Phanerozoic Earth history, has been repeatedly affected by short-lived cold interludes lasting about one million years.

Thermal Volume Changes and Creep in the Callovo-Oxfordian Claystone [PDF]
The Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) claystone is considered as a potential host rock for high-level radioactive waste disposal at great depth in France. Given the exothermic nature of radioactive wastes, a temperature elevation planned to be smaller than 100 °C will affect the host rock around the disposal cells.

Analysing Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and other trace elements together with stable isotope data in poorly preserved belemnites can provide valuable insights into early diagenetic pathways, water‐interaction processes, and even potential redox conditions.

Sea surface temperature contributes to marine crocodylomorph evolution [PDF]
During the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, four distinct crocodylomorph lineages colonized the marine environment. They were conspicuously absent from high latitudes, which in the Mesozoic were occupied by warm-blooded ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs.

Five large Alpine cave systems on the Dachstein (Austria) were investigated and 35 sediment profiles or outcrops between 860 m a.s.l. and 1945 m a.s.l. were analysed. An altitude‐dependent overall stratigraphy is established and depositional conditions and palaeo‐environments are reconstructed.
