Journal ArticleDOI
The southernmost margin of the Tethys realm during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic: Initial geometry and timing of the inversion processes
Dominique Frizon de Lamotte,Camille Raulin,Nicolas Mouchot,Jean-Christophe Wrobel-Daveau,Christian Blanpied,Jean-Claude Ringenbach +5 more
TL;DR: The existence of synchronous geodynamic events from one end of the system to the other, although they do not have the same meaning, is emphasized in this article, where two of them are particularly important: the Campanian-Santonian (C-S) event corresponds to obduction and exhumation of high pressure-low-temperature metamorphic rocks around the Arabian promontory, inversion along the margins of the East Mediterranean basins, and lithosphere buckling in the Atlas system (Maghreb and adjacent Sahara platform).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for Late Devonian vertical movements and extensional deformation in northern Africa and Arabia: Integration in the geodynamics of the Devonian world
Dominique Frizon de Lamotte,Saeid Tavakoli-Shirazi,Saeid Tavakoli-Shirazi,Pascale Leturmy,Olivier Averbuch,Nicolas Mouchot,Camille Raulin,F. Leparmentier,Christian Blanpied,Jean-Claude Ringenbach +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated tectonic scenario for the study domain is presented, with the aim of giving an integrated view of the Upper Paleozoic geodynamic evolution at the scale of a wide part of Gondwana from North Africa to Arabia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensional vs contractional Cenozoic deformation in Ibiza (Balearic Promontory, Spain): Integration in the West Mediterranean back-arc setting
Nathalie Etheve,Dominique Frizon de Lamotte,Geoffroy Mohn,Raquel Martos,Eduard Roca,Christian Blanpied +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the Cenozoic tectono-sedimentary evolution offshore and onshore Ibiza allowing the proposal of a new tectonic agenda for the region and its integration in the geodynamic history of the West Mediterranean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism and timing of tectonic inversion in Cyrenaica (Libya): Integration in the geodynamics of the East Mediterranean
S. Arsenikos,S. Arsenikos,Dominique Frizon de Lamotte,Nicolas Chamot-Rooke,Geoffroy Mohn,Marie-Claude Bonneau,Christian Blanpied +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new geological cross-sections supported by offshore industrial 2D seismic profiles imaging the northeast prolongation of the antiformal ridge indenting the Mediterranean Ridge accretionary prism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The tectonostratigraphic evolution of Cenozoic basins of the Northern Tethys: The Northern margin of the Levant Basin
Nikolaos Papadimitriou,Nikolaos Papadimitriou,Rémy Deschamps,Vasilis Symeou,Vasilis Symeou,Christine Souque,Christian Gorini,Fadi H. Nader,Christian Blanpied +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the timing and the mechanisms of basin deformation, as well as the sedimentary infill of basins located onshore Cyprus and finally resolved how their evolution is linked to the regional geodynamic events.
