The ECORS deep seismic profile and additional geological geophysical data are used to constrain the balancing of a structural section crossing Pyrenees. To minimize effects mid‐Cretaceous strike‐slip motion along North Pyrenean fault, we have chosen restore geometry period after Albian‐Cenomanian faulting before Late Cretaceous compressional tectonics. At least 100 km shortening must be accounted for in crust order balance cross section. estimated length top Iberian Paleozoic basement is 40...

Geodynamical numerical modeling has been combined with crustal structural restoration of the central Pyrenees in order to gain insight into fundamental processes that control evolution collisional orogens. Models are based on deformation crust by stresses transmitted upward from kinematic basal boundary conditions corresponding subduction part lithosphere. The influence inherited heterogeneities, denudation, subcrustal loads, and mechanical properties, consistent well‐constrained partial...

Seismic interpretation of the MARCONI deep seismic survey enables recognition upper crustal structure eastern part Bay Biscay and main features its Alpine geodynamic evolution. The new data denotes that two domains with different Pyrenean north foreland structures exist in Biscay. In or Basque‐Parentis Domain, North front is located close to Spanish coast, northern Pyrenees constituted by a continental crust thinned dipping fault induced formation Early Cretaceous Parentis Basin. western...

Abstract Integration of structural, stratigraphic, and paleomagnetic data from the N–S trending structures Ainsa Oblique Zone reveals kinematics major thrust salient in central Pyrenees. These experienced clockwise vertical axis rotations that vary 70° east (Mediano anticline) to 55° west (Boltaña anticline). Clockwise 60° 45° occurred early Lutetian late Bartonian when folds thrusts developed. This rotation stage resulted a difference about 50 km amount displacement on Gavarnie an...

Abstract We show that the spin of dark matter induces a gravitational analog electromagnetic Faraday effect, where polarization waves undergoes rotation as they propagate through halo with non-vanishing axial hypermomentum. An expression for angle is provided, which analogous to in optics, and evaluate its significance astrophysical settings. Although effect expected be small under current observational constraints, we discuss potential importance early universe. Importantly, this distinct...

In the Oligocene to earliest Miocene entire southern Pyrenean foreland fold and thrust belt was backfilled buried in up 3 km of syntectonic continental conglomerates from range's own erosional debris. Then, starting mid late Miocene, Pyrenees were exhumed by excavation their present relief. A model is proposed for this unusual development whereby Eocene–Oligocene tectonic uplift margins Ebro basin raised local base level blocked normal dispersal debris adjacent oceans, thus causing fill then...
