Supradetachment basins at passive rifted margins are a key witness of major-continental extension, and they may preserve record from which the amount rates extension metamorphic core complex exhumation be reconstructed. These have mainly been recognised in back-arc orogenic collapse settings, with few examples margins. Using 2D 3D seismic reflection, wellbore, gravity anomaly data, we here char...

Abstract New whole-rock geochemical and coupled U–Pb Lu–Hf LA-ICP-MS zircon data of metasedimentary rocks the Austroalpine, South Alpine Penninic basement domains are presented, to disentangle pre-Variscan tectonic evolution proto-Alps. The studied units seem record distinct stages protracted Late Ediacaran Carboniferous tectonosedimentary processes prior Variscan collision. In case Austroalpin...

Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets. The balanced crustal cross-section reproduces the surficial folding and thrusting of the thick cover succession, including the near top of the Sarvak Formation (∼ 90 Ma) that forms the top of the restored crustal cros...

ABSTRACT The presence of archaeocyath-bearing clasts from Cenozoic tills and Cambrian Mount Wegener Formation reveal erosion a hidden carbonate platform in Shackleton Range, Antarctica. We provide microfacies, paleontological, diagenetic tectonically induced fabric data which, addition to available geochemical geochronological allow the paleoenvironmental reconstruction lost Series 2 mixed sili...
