The facies changes, tectonics and magmatism across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary in the southern Tethyan margin have been studied in Egypt, Sudan, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia and Jordan an unconformable contact is recognized between the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic rocks. This unconformity surface is marked by the truncation of the fluvial clastics of the uppermost Triassic b...

Tectonic processes which led to the generation of the Alps, Carpathians, Dinarides, and the Pannonian basin are still on work. In particular they affect the transition zone from the European platform over the Eastern Alps to the Pannonian basin. GPS network solutions confirm the ongoing lateral extrusion of East Alpine crustal blocks directed to the Pannonian basin. Earthquakes and neo-tectonic...
