Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeomagnetic study of a subaerial volcanic ridge (Sao Jorge Island, Azores) for the past 1.3 Myr: evidence for the Cobb Mountain Subchron, volcano flank instability and tectonomagmatic implications
Pedro Silva,Bernard Henry,Fernando O. Marques,A. Hildenbrand,A. Hildenbrand,Pedro Madureira,Catherine Anne Marie Dominique Meriaux,Zuzana Kratinová,Zuzana Kratinová +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a palaeomagnetic study on 38 lava flows and 20 dykes encompassing the past 1.3 Myr on S. Jorge Island (Azores Archipelago North Atlantic Ocean) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reply to comment by Marques et al. on “The insular shelves of the Faial‐Pico Ridge (Azores archipelago): A morphological record of its evolution”
Rui Quartau,Rui Quartau,José Madeira,Neil C. Mitchell,Fernando Tempera,Pedro Silva,Filipe Brandão +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, multibeam bathymetry, high-resolution seismic reflection profiles, and sediment samples are used to characterize the morphology of the insular shelves adjacent to Pico Island.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of the Saldanha Massif (MAR, 36°34′ N): Constrains from rock magnetic and geophysical data
TL;DR: In this article, a study of the magnetic properties of a group of basalt samples from the Saldanha Massif (MAR) is presented, and the authors interpret these properties in the tectono-magmatic framework of this sector of the MAR.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new sedimentary benchmark for the Deccan Traps volcanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the origin of the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary mass extinction is identified by an abrupt positive shift of the magnetic susceptibility (MS), also observed by others at the KPB elsewhere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magma flow, exsolution processes and rock metasomatism in the Great Messejana-Plasencia dyke (Iberian Peninsula)
Pedro Silva,Bernard Henry,Fernando O. Marques,Eric Font,António Mateus,Ramón Vegas,Jorge Miguel Miranda,Ricardo Palomino,A. Palencia-Ortas +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Messejana-Plasencia dyke (MPD) was studied and the effect of exsolution and metasomatism processes on the magnetic properties of the dyke was investigated.
