The North Pyrenean Zone corresponds to the palaeopassive margin of Iberia plate, at foot which subcontinental mantle was exhumed during Albian times. Rare bodies rocks associated with strongly sheared lenses continental crust are scattered among metasediments. Significant fluid flow occurred along a major décollement basement–Trias interface in Urdach massif (Chaînons Béarnais). Fluids broad ra...

A combination of well data, seismic information on thrusting and tectonic shortening, plus analyses the nature depth Mesozoic units related to main detachment horizons (Triassic evaporites, flysch), are used review, further update complex structural styles External Hellenides Albanides Orogenic Belts, SE Europe. In study area, late Alpine orogenic evolution resulted in a architecture characteri...

The study of the Gulf of Cadiz on the basis of multichannel seismic profiles and wells illustrates the stratigraphy and tectonics. The evolution of the southern Iberian margins was more complex than in most North Atlantic margins since it entailed several phases of rifting, convergence and strike-slip motions. Three main tectonic provinces surround the internal zones of the Gibraltar Arc orogen...

A well known Buddhist monastery of Lamayuru is located in a village about 128 Km West Leh. It situated on more than 100 m thick Late Quaternary palaeolake deposits which are surrounded by rocks Formation. Geologically, the Formation includes and Namikala flysch Triassic-Jurassic age. This composed shales, schist phyllites. forms base source deposits. In Late-Pleistocene (35 ka B.P.) River was d...
