The west Iberia margin has become the type example of a magma-starved margin in which extension during breakup led to the exhumation of mantle rocks apparently over a broad area. Much of our understanding of this process is based on geophysical and d

Several lines of evidence suggest that simple shear rifting of the continental crust, in the formof low-angle detachment faulting, occurred during the final stages of continental breakupbetween West Iberia and the Grand Banks. The primary evidence fo

Many continental flood basalt provinces are spatially and temporally linked with continental break-up. Establishing the relative timing of the two events is a key step in determining their causal relationship. Here we investigate the example of the D

The rifting of the Seychelles microcontinent from India involved two phases of extensional activity. The initial separation of the Laxmi Ridge from India was accompanied by extensive magmatism but the later separation of the Seychelles from the Laxmi

Summary. Four seismic refraction lines, three of which had shots every 250 m, were shot across, along and parallel to the median valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 37° N. A method has been developed for calculating the effect on the travel times of

We discuss the magmatic development of the west Iberia non-volcanic rifted continental margin in the North Atlantic Ocean. So-called 'non-volcanic' rifted continental margins are characterized by a lack of syn-rift magmatism and are considered to be

SUMMARY P-wave azimuthal seismic anisotropy of the uppermost mantle has been shown to indicate directions of extension, both recent and fossil, in oceanic and continental settings. We have determined the P-wave anisotropy of a zone of exhumed contine

We present a crust and mantle velocity structure for the West Iberia passive continental margin derived from a 320-km-long wide-angle seismic profile acquired in the southern Iberia Abyssal Plain. We observe a 170-km-wide ocean-continent transition z
