Triassic palaeogeography of Tunisia

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2001
Abstract A stratigraphic, palaeogeographic and palinspastic synthesis of the Triassic successions in Tunisia is herein documented from a SSE–NNN oriented profile (Saharan Platform, Gulf of Gabes offshore, Tunisian Atlas, Tellian Units) across the northern boundary of the Gondwana Plate and the future South-Tethyan Margin. It is principally based on a

Palaeogeography in exploration

Geological Magazine, 2018
AbstractPalaeogeography is the representation of the past surface of the Earth. It provides the spatial context for investigating how the Earth evolves through time, how complex processes interact and the juxtaposition of spatial information. In hydrocarbon exploration, palaeogeographies have been used to map and investigate the juxtaposition ...

Chapter 4.6 Palaeogeography

2009
Abstract Several lines of evidence suggest that the Rio de la Plata Craton (RPC) was part of Rodinia. A proto-Andean Grenvillian belt marks the western edge of the craton. The RPC rifted off Rodinia between 635 and 580 Ma. Evidences of rifting include mafic dyke swarms, anorogenic granites, within-plate basalts and rift sedimentary deposits ...

Earth History and Palaeogeography

2016
Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to processes in the Earth's mantle, and to climate change and the evolution of the Earth's biota.

Gondwanan palaeogeography and pal˦oclimatology

Journal of African Earth Sciences, 1999
Abstract Lithological indicators of climate, such as coals, evaporites, bauxites, and tillites,can be used to map the past position of the major climatic zones (Humid Tropics, Dry Subtropics, Warm and Cool Temperate, and Polar) that crossed the supercontinent of Gondwana.

Mesozoic palaeogeography of Australasia

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1966
Abstract Recent detailed studies in Timor have permitted radical revision of the published views of that island's geological history. A summary of the character of the Mesozoic rocks of Timor is adduced for revising the present views of Mesozoic palaeogeography of the northern Australia-Timor region.

Palaeogeography of alpine flysch

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1983
Abstract Palaoegeography of alpine basins during times of flysch sedimentation is reconstructed from an approach based upon global tectonic constraints, on palinspastic reconstruction from regional geology, and on the sedimentalogy of individual flysch sequences. The opening of the central Atlantic ocean, coincident with the formation of the Western
