Western Extension of Boundary between European and Iberian Plates during the Pyrenean Orogeny*
-The kinematics of the Eocene episode of compression between the Iberian and European plates is examined. It is p r o p d that the boundary between the two plates extended West of the Pyrenees, dong the Spanish marginal trench to end West of King's trough at a triple point junction. The pole of relative rotation computed within this hypothesis lies near5g0N; 62"W and the resulting shortening al...
متن کاملThe chronology of the Eocene tectonic and stratigraphie development of the eastern Pyrenean foreland basin, northeast Spain
Abundant and clearly exposed relationships between structures and syntectonic sedimentary rocks in the southern Pyrenees make this area particularly suitable for detailed studies of the sequential development of a collisional orogenic belt. During the Pyrenean orogeny, major shortening occurred in the eastern Pyrenees in Eocene and early Oligocene times. Unto now, individual tectonic and deposi...
متن کاملAn archosauromorph dominated ichnoassemblage in fluvial settings from the late Early Triassic of the Catalan Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula)
The vertebrate recovery after the end-Permian mass extinction can be approached through the ichnological record, which is much more abundant than body fossils. The late Olenekian (Early Triassic) tetrapod ichnoassemblage of the Catalan Pyrenean Basin is the most complete and diverse of this age from Western Tethys. This extensional basin, composed of several depocenters, was formed in the lates...
متن کاملExploring the feasibility of an early warning system in a = moderate seismicity context: case study of Pyrenees
In the frame of the SISPyr project the feasibility of an Earthquake Early Warning system (EEW) covering Pyrenees is being studied. First of all, the analysis of the existing seismic stations shows that the SISPyr realtime network may be used as a base of a Pyrenean EEW despite that some difficulties exist to its implementation that should be solved. The exploration of an important Pyrenean wave...
متن کاملStructural evidence on strike slip Kinematic inversion of the Kushk-e-Nosrat Fault zone, Central Iran
NW-tending faults in Central Iran are expected to represent dominant dextral components due to their orientation with respect to the northward motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to Eurasia. However, previously published works, as well as the focal mechanism solution of the area's earthquakes, indicate evidence of sinistral kinematic along the major faults in Central Iran. Here we present ...
