In this study we compare three pairs of conjugate rifted margins that are often referred to as
archetypes of rift systems. Despite numerous differences, a remarkable first-order structural …

Lithospheric extension plays a pivotal role in governing the evolution of continents and the
birth of oceanic basins on Earth. Despite this, quantifying wide-mode lithospheric extension …

Seismic reflection data imaging conjugate crustal sections at the South China Sea margins
result in a conceptual model for rift-evolution at conjugate magma-poor margins in time and …

Abstract The Bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees correspond to a Lower Cretaceous rift system
including both oceanic and hyperextended rift domains. The transition from preserved …

Pangea results from the progressive amalgamation of continental blocks achieved at 320
Ma. Assuming that the ancient concept of “active” versus “passive” rifting remains pertinent …

Rifted margins are formed by persistent stretching of continental lithosphere until breakup is
achieved. It is well known that strain-rate-dependent processes control rift evolution,, yet …

Many recent papers describe the structure of the Iberia and Newfoundland rifted margins;
however, none of them propose kinematic restorations of the complete rift system to quantify …

We focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and
propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling …

Studies conducted in present‐day magma‐poor rifted margins reveal that the transition from
weakly thinned continental crust (∼ 30 km) in proximal margins to hyper‐extended crust (≤ …

The breakup of Pangaea was accompanied by extensive, episodic, magmatic activity.
Several Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) formed, such as the Central Atlantic Magmatic …
