The External Tanger Unit (Intrarif sub-Domain, External Rifian Zones, Morocco): an interdisciplinary study
Soufian Maaté,Francisco J. Alcalá,Francisco J. Alcalá,Francesco Guerrera,Rachid Hlila,Ali Maate,Manuel Martín-Martín,Giuliana Raffaelli,Francisco Serrano,Mario Tramontana +9 more
TL;DR: The External Tanger Unit represents one of the most complete Cretaceous-Miocene successions in the central areas of the Internal Intrarif sub-Domain (External Rif Zones, Morocco).

Petrogenesis and deformation history of the lawsonite-bearing blueschist facies metabasalts of the Diamante-Terranova oceanic unit (southern Italy)
Lorenzo Fedele,F. D'a. Tramparulo,Stefano Vitale,Stefano Vitale,Piergiulio Cappelletti,Ernesto Paolo Prinzi,Stefano Mazzoli +6 more
TL;DR: Whitney et al. as discussed by the authors showed that lawsonite growth was continuous during three distinctive ductile deformation stages (D1-D3) of the Neotethyan oceanic Diamante-Terranova unit (DIATU; southern Apennines- Calabria-Peloritani Terrane system) including basic rocks that during the Cenozoic were subducted and metamorphosed to lawsonites-blueschist facies conditions.

Evidence for mantle heterogeneities in the westernmost Mediterranean from a statistical approach to volcanic petrology
Massimiliano Melchiorre,Jaume Vergés,Manel Fernandez,Massimo Coltorti,Montserrat Torné,Emilio Casciello +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, major, trace elements and isotopic ratios of 283 orogenic and 310 anorogenic volcanic samples from the western and central Mediterranean areas were merged in a single database that was processed using a statistical approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assume that this specific fault is the prolongation into the Cap des Trois Fourches area of the extensional detachment previously described in the Temsamane area, and postulate that this major detachment roots deep in the Eastern Rif basement.

A new perspective on sequence stratigraphy of syn-orogenic basins: insights from the Tertiary Piedmont Basin (Italy) and implications for play concepts and reservoir heterogeneity
Massimo Rossi,Jonathan Craig +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Tertiary Piedmont Basin was reshaped as the Apennines progressively overrode the Alpine retroforeland, and a wider range of tectonically driven discontinuities (subaerial/subaqueous/regressive/transgressive), diachronism of accommodation and sediment-fairway turnarounds, unusual routing to deepwater, and relationships between fourth-and fifth-order sequences.

A plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic constrained by dynamic plate boundaries and restored synthetic oceanic isochrons
TL;DR: In this article, a plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic (Ordovician to Cretaceous) integrating dynamic plate boundaries, plate buoyancy, ocean spreading rates and major Tectonic and magmatic events was developed.

TL;DR: In this article, phase diagrams of hydrous mid-ocean ridge (MOR) basalts to 330 km depth and hydrous peridotites to 250 km depth are compiled for conditions characteristic for subduction zones.

Extension in the Tyrrhenian Sea and Shortening in the Apennines as Result of Arc Migration Driven by Sinking of the Lithosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, an arc migration model was proposed to explain the dynamic relationship between extension in the Tyrrhenian basin and compression in the Apennines, and the estimated contemporaneous (post-middle Miocene) amounts of extension and shortening in the apennines appear to be very similar.

Kinematics of the western Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary model for the Cenozoic kinematic evolution of the western Mediterranean oceanic basins and their peripheral orogens is presented, which integrates the motion of Africa relative to Europe based upon a new study of Atlantic fracture zones using SEASAT data and the Lamont-Doherty magnetic anomaly database.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Tethys belt from the Pliensbachian (190 Ma) to the Tortonian (10 Ma) is depicted at 1 20,000,000 scale.
