Abstract:During the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic periods, Europe recorded several tectonic events that have been interpreted as far-field tectonics. This may be diffuse tectonics that occur at the onset of a major tectonic event or propagation of the deformation away from orogenic fronts. In Western Europe, the deformations related to the opening of the Bay of Biscay and the formation of the Pyrenean belt are well described in the southern part of the Aquitaine basin, but little is known about the “Northern Aquitaine Plat… Show more
