Se muestra la evolucion sedimentaria mesozoica del noreste de Mexico a traves de varios mapas paleogeograficos regionales. Tambien, con base en diferentes estilos de plegamiento, se propone un modelo alternativo para la deformacion del Terciario Temprano del noreste de Mexico, asi como una serie de paleorreconstrucciones de tectonica de placas, basados principalmente en la existencia de varias fallas sinistrales de transcurrencia, orientadas al noroeste y una falla dextral transcurrente (Falla Tamaulipas-Oaxaca) orientada al nor-noroeste, a lo largo de la cual el bloque de Yucatan se movio hacia el Sur (Jurasico Tardio) desde su antigua position en el sitio que hoy ocupa el Golfo de Mexico.read more

Paleogeographic Evolution of Early Deep-Water Gulf of Mexico and Margins, Jurassic to Middle Cretaceous (Comanchean)
TL;DR: In this paper, the early Gulf of Mexico is inferred from Cretaceous carbonate shelf margins interpreted from seismic profiles and other stratigraphic data, and hindcasting of subsidence history in the central basin.

Evolución geológica del sureste mexicano desde el Mesozoico al presente en el contexto regional del Golfo de México
TL;DR: The geologic evolution of southeastern Mexico is analyzed in the regional context of the Gulf of Mexico, which starts it opening with the fragmentation and spreading of Pangea as discussed by the authors, and the sedimentary record in this depression begins with the deposit of continental red beds during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic, after which, during the Callovian, sea-waters from the Pacifi c invaded an extense area; low circulation and high evaporation of these waters allowed the deposition of large volumes of salt in the central part of the basin.

Tectonic setting and sandstone petrofacies of the Bisbee basin(USA–Mexico)
TL;DR: The Bisbee basin is part of the border rift system as discussed by the authors, which was formed by an eruption of a bimodal mid-Jurassic volcanic assemblage succeeding Early to Middle Jurassic arc volcanism.

Synextensional Pliocene–Pleistocene eruptive activity in the Camargo volcanic field, Chihuahua, México
José Jorge Aranda-Gómez,James F. Luhr,Todd B. Housh,Charles B. Connor,Tim A. Becker,Christopher D. Henry +5 more
TL;DR: The Camargo volcanic field is the largest mafic alkalic volcanic field in the Mexican Basin and Range province, and the relationship between volcanism and normal faulting is especially strong.
