Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Abstract The Lower Jurassic–Cenomanian successions of Mexico can be grouped into two
different tectono-stratigraphic systems that were developed under the influence of two …

We present an updated, internally consistent synthesis of the Permo-Triassic assembly and
Mesozoic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, Florida–Bahamas and northern South …

Any basin with seafloor spreading that forms over an active subduction zone is a backarc
basin (BAB). The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) opened behind the 232–150 Ma Nazas arc over an …

Abstract The Geological Framework of Mexico is formed by a mosaic of tectono-stratigraphic
terranes that were assembled during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic as the result of the …

Triassic strata in northeastern Mexico distributed over an area of∼ 120,000 km2 have
received relatively little attention in paleogeographic and tectonic reconstructions of western …

Magmatic activity in continental arcs is known to vary in a non-steady-state manner, with the
mechanisms driving magmatic activity being a matter of ongoing discussion. Of particular …

Three paleogeographic scenarios have been proposed for the Mesozoic volcano-
sedimentary successions that compose the Guerrero terrane, western Mexico. In the type 1 …

Continental strata and volcanic rocks of the type Huizachal Group in Valle de Huizachal
record arc magmatism and subsequent crustal extension prior to seafloor spreading in the …

U-Pb ages of ignimbrites and detrital-zircon analyses from Middle Jurassic through
lowermost Cretaceous strata in northeastern Durango, Mexico, indicate the age of local …
