Rapid transition from continental breakup to igneous oceanic crust in the South China Sea

H.C. Larsen, +70 more
- 20 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report International Ocean Discovery Program drilling data from the northern South China Sea margin, testing the magma-poor margin model outside the North Atlantic, showing initiation of mid-Ocean Ridge basalt type magmatism during breakup, with a narrow and rapid transition into igneous oceanic crust.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinematic Evolution of the Southern North Atlantic: Implications for the Formation of Hyperextended Rift Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateral evolution of the rift-to-drift transition in the South China Sea: Evidence from multi-channel seismic data and IODP Expeditions 367&368 drilling results

TL;DR: In this article, a short-period magmatic event occurred during the latest stage of continental rifting and intruded the edge of the thinned continental crust, triggering crustal breakup and onset of steady-state seafloor spreading.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reappraisal of the magma-rich versus magma-poor rifted margin archetypes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the magmatic budget related to lithospheric breakup along two high-resolution long-offset deep reflection seismic profiles across the SE Indian and Uruguayan (magma-rich) rifted margins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nature and origin of the J-magnetic anomaly offshore Iberia-Newfoundland: implications for plate reconstructions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the J-anomaly is the result of polygenic and multiple magmatic events occurring during and after the formation of the first oceanic crust.
