The geologic record of the formation of marine basins during continental rifting is
uncommonly preserved. Using GIS-based paleotectonic maps, we show that marine basin …

Rocks from subvolcanic silicic magmatism (SSM) are exposed intermittently over a wide
area along the Sonora coast, NW Mexico. This region is characterized by syn-rift volcanism …

We studied the feasibility of using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass
spectrometry (LA–ICPMS) for U-Pb dating of vertebrate and invertebrate apatite fossils. Two …

Abstract The Baja California peninsula forms the western margin of the Gulf of California
(GC) rift system, which is an active tectonic setting manifested by seismicity and numerous …

The availability of geothermal resources in Baja California has been thoroughly documented
in the past. This region currently experiences a deficit in electricity production and it is, to …

The aetiocetids are a well-known extinct taxon of Oligocene toothed mysticetes in the North
Pacific. They display a high degree of diversity contrasting with that of other tooth-bearing …

Los eomisticetidos son un taxón basal extinto de las ballenas barbadas (Mysticeti:
Chaeomysticeti-“ballenas verdaderas”), los cuales aparecieron durante el Oligoceno y …

Abstract The late Oligocene–early Miocene interval records a discernable episode of
phosphorite formation, which is considered as the first of four main phosphogenic episodes …

Among the several evolutionary lineages of the baleen whales (Mysticeti), the eomysticetids
are an ancient successful family that retain possibly nonfunctional teeth and functional …

Abstract The North America CO 2 Storage Atlas is based on criteria for maximizing safety
and minimizing costs. In Mexico, tectonically stable sedimentary basins on the East portion …
