Intriguing latest Eocene land-faunal dispersals between South America and the Greater Antilles (northern Caribbean) has inspired hypothesis of GAARlandia (Greater Aves Ridge) land bridge. This landbridge, however, should have crossed Caribbean oceanic plate, geological evolution its rise demise, or geodynamic forcing, remain unknown. Here we present results a land-sea survey from northeast combined with chronostratigraphic data, revealing regional episode mid to late Eocene, trench-normal,...
Abstract The Grenada Basin separates the active Lesser Antilles Arc from Aves Ridge, described as a Cretaceous‐Paleocene remnant of “Great Caribbean.” Although various tectonic models have been proposed for opening Basin, data on which they rely are insufficient to reach definitive conclusions. This study presents, large set deep‐penetrating multichannel seismic reflection and dredge samples acquired during GARANTI cruise in 2017. By combining them with published including data, wide‐angle...
The island of Rhodos represents an uplifted block in the largely submerged southeastern Aegean forearc. It has a complex history subsidence, uplift and counterclockwise rotation during Plio-Pleistocene, response to interplay between large-scale geodynamic processes. In this paper, we present new chronostratigraphic framework for continental Pliocene Apolakkia basin southwestern Rhodos. We combine these time constraints with recently published data from marine Plio-Pleistocene basins...
Abstract Oblique collision of buoyant provinces against subduction zones frequently results in individualizing and rotating regional‐scale blocks. In contrast, the Bahamas Bank Northeastern Caribbean Plate increased margin convexity triggering forearc fragmentation into small‐scale This deformation a prominent sequence V‐shaped basins that widens trenchward separated by elevated spurs, Northern Lesser Antilles (NLA, i.e., Guadeloupe to Virgin Island). absence deep structure imaging, various...

The western part of the Moroccan Meseta contains thick Middle Cambrian terrigenous deposits, in places 7000 m thick. Field data and geophysical investigations indicate subsident grabens controlled by major N30°E N60°E fault zones on northwestern African shield. These correspond to late evolution an intracontinental rift that originated during Late Precambrian Early time can be considered evidence opening Iapetus paleo-ocean Morocco.
An exceptionally well-preserved fossil seagrass community occurs in the late Pliocene of Greek Island Rhodes. The siliciclastic deposits Kritika section (Kritika Member, Rhodes Formation) contain several beds clay and fine-grained sand with abundant remains leaves Posidonia oceanica. A coarser bed situ rhizomes same endemic Mediterranean phanerogam also was found. Samples yield a diverse skeletal assemblage 121 species crustose coralline algae, foraminifers, annelids, gastropods, bivalves,...
Abstract We present detailed biostratigraphy based on conodonts and palaeoenvironmental trends deduced from microfacies conodont abundance through the Famennian (Late Devonian) at Col des Tribes (Montagne Noire, France). The succession is characterized by micritic limestones deposited in settings oscillating between mid to outer ramp. Facies contain poor fauna, widely dominated nektonic organisms. This section complete one of most conodont-rich for north Gondwana-related area. Upper...
Abstract The upper plate deformation pattern reflects the mechanical behavior of subduction zones. Here we focus on consequences entrance a buoyant bank into Caribbean zone during Eocene by studying oldest exposed rocks belonging to Lesser Antilles volcanic arc. Using novel geochronological data set, show that arc activity island St. Barthelemy spanned over mid‐Eocene early Miocene with westward migration tectono‐volcanic activity, which is comparable what has already been observed other...
