The topic of the field trip is Mesozoic geodynamic evolution in Western Tethys realm well recorded deep-water settings, especially radiolarian-bearing sedimentary rocks and radiolarites Eastern Alps (Northern Calcareous Alps). preserved successions deposited Northern reflect two different Wilson cycles with its mountain building processes: Evolution Neo-Tethys Ocean to south/southeast: Middle T...

Taphonomy and mineralization of carbonated wood from the Purbeckian facies l'Usine, Cherves-Richemont (Charente). Lower Cretaceous deposits Charentes region, in southwestern France, correspond to continental brackish environments, locally rich evaporitic formations (Manès 1850; Pouech et al. 2006, 2014, 2015; Schnyder 2012; Vullo 2014; Moreau 2017b). Three fossiliferous localities have been pre...

The Dinarides, together with the Albanides and Hellenides, preserve stratigraphic successions derived from eastern margin of Adriatic microplate remnants ophiolites obducted Maliac-Vardar branch Neotethys Ocean. main stages in Mesozoic geodynamic history are: 1) rifting leading to opening Maliac Ocean Late Anisian, 2) onset an east-dipping intra-oceanic subduction Early-Middle Jurassic sea-floo...
