Tectonostratigraphic terranes in the Circum
... “Subvolcanic Zone” of the Eastern Carpathians. It ended at 9.2 Ma, except for the late mafic/basaltic phase from Gutâi Mts. (8.1-7.0 Ma) ceasing the magmatism. In Oaş Mts. the intrusions were emplaced exclusively in Pannonian (10.8-9.6 Ma), while in Gutâi Mts. the intrusive magmatism started in Sarm ...

... The Sevier orogeny took place at about the same time as the Laramide orogeny towards the end of the Cretacious and into the Tertiary from ~70-35 Ma. The Sevier orogeny happened largely due to the same regional stresses that created the Laramide. What distinguishes the Sevier from the Laramide, howev ...

The north Pyrenean Front and related foreland basin along the Bay
... THE NORTH PYRENEAN FRONT AND RELATED FORELAND BASIN… The Parentis Basin, striking E-W, appears as bounded southwards by a major north-dipping planar fault with a normal displacement of near 15 km. It is filled up by a thick (up to 10 km) sequence of Jurassicupper Cretaceous carbonates affected by s ...

Sedimentary cover of the Ankara Mélange: role of the Upper

It is widely accepted that the Ankara Mélange is a Late Mesozoic accretionary complex related to the northward subduction of the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Ocean (N Neotethys) beneath the Pontide active margin. Subduction-accretion events are documented by several Late Mesozoic - Early Cenozoic forearc-t ...
