Abstract The Aves Ridge in the eastern Caribbean Sea is thought by many to have operated
as a short-lived, mid-Cenozoic, dry-land path that was used by the ancestors of a number of …

Although present in the South American continent, dwarf boas (Tropidophiidae) show their
greatest extant diversification in the Caribbean region, reaching their highest diversity in …

Abstract The 2–10‐km‐thick, mainly carbonate cap of the 14,000 km2 Bahamas carbonate
platform (BCP) has impeded imaging of its underlying crustal structure. The deeper structure …

The link between surface tectonic plates and mantle slabs is fundamental for paleo-tectonic
reconstructions and for our understanding of mantle dynamics. Many seismic tomography …

The tectonic configuration of the Caribbean plate is defined by inward‐dip** double
subduction at its boundaries with the North American and Cocos plates. This geometry …

A review confirms opposite paleomagnetic rotations on the northwest and southeast limbs of
the Central Andes Bend in Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and Argentina. Counter-clockwise …

Many caves in Sicily have been shown to have a sulfuric acid or other hypogenic origin. We
studied three caves (Palombara, Scrivilleri, Monello) near Syracuse (eastern Sicily), in an …

Paleomagnetism provides a quantitative tool for estimating paleogeographic displacements
of rock units relative to the Earth's spin axis and is widely used to determine relative tectonic …

1. Introduction Theory of the low-field anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) assumes a
linear relationship between induced magnetization and magnetizing field, described as M= k …
