The composite Albian–Eocene orogenic wedge of the northern part Inner Western Carpathians (IWC) comprises European Variscan basement with Upper Carboniferous–Triassic cover and Jurassic to Cretaceous sedimentary successions a large oceanic–continental Atlantic (Alpine) Tethys basin system. This paper presents an updated evolutionary model for principal structural units (i.e., Fatricum, Tatricum...

[1] We present new isotopic and micropaleontological data from a depth transect on Shatsky Rise that record the response of the tropical Pacific to global biotic and oceanographic shifts during the mid-Maastrichtian. Results reveal a coupling between the upper ocean, characterized by a weak thermocline and low to intermediate productivity, and intermediate waters. During the earliest Maastricht...

The combined effects of post-rift magma emplacement and tectonic inversion on the hyper-extended West Iberian Margin are unravelled in detail using multichannel 2D/3D seismic data. Estremadura Spur, acting as an uplifted crustal block bounded by two first-order transfer zones, shows evidence four events each with a distinctive seismic-stratigraphic response that can be used to demonstrate tecto...

The Enugu Formation is a member of the Nkporo Group, and forms part of the basal stratigraphic unit of the Anambra Basin in south-eastern Nigeria. The Enugu Formation has been the subject of many studies concerning stratigraphy [1], depositional environments [2; Onuigbo et al. [3], organic geochemistry [4-6], paleoecology [7], palynology [7-9] and ichnology [10]. Nwajide & Reijers [2] were the ...

A global compilation of deep-sea isotopic records suggests that Maastrichtian ocean-climate evolution was tectonically driven. During the early Maastrichtian the Atlantic intermediate-deep ocean was isolated from the Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans; deep water formed in the high-latitude North Atlantic and North Pacific. At the early/late Maastrichtian boundary a major reorganization of oc...
